“Let’s go back and visit Grandpa tomorrow.”

The journey was silent. Jun Shiling only spoke when the car gradually drove into the manor.

Xia Wanyuan pulled herself out of her book that she read halfway. Looking at the time, it had been almost a month since she had seen Old Master.

“Sure.” Xia Wanyuan readily agreed.

When they arrived at the manor, the chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door for Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling got out of the car but did not leave immediately.

He stood at the door and waited for Xia Wanyuan to get out of the car. He used his hand to block the door, in case Xia Wanyuan’s head hit the roof.

The chauffeur was so shocked that his eyes widened, while Xia Wanyuan remained calm.

It was mainly because she had always watched those television dramas on Strawberry TV where many men would do the same, so she had tacitly agreed to Jun Shiling’s gentlemanly behavior. However, she had forgotten that Jun Shiling was not a gentleman, nor was he someone who could escort anyone out of the car.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and nodded slightly at Jun Shiling. When he met those smiling eyes, Jun Shiling retracted his hand and shook hands.

The garden had just been watered, and there was water dripping from the petals on the path of the stones.

Xia Wanyuan looked at the gorgeous blooming peach blossoms by the roadside and reached out to place one on the bedside table.

Unexpectedly, the branch of the peach blossom was somewhat tall. Xia Wanyuan stood on her toes slightly, but the gravel road was soaked. How could it bear the pair of eight-centimeter high heels?

Xia Wanyuan slipped and twisted her ankle from her high heels to the ground.

She fell to the side and screamed.

Jun Shiling, who had been walking behind Xia Wanyuan and had just answered the call, rushed to her side almost instantly.

Xia Wanyuan had wanted to rely on her own strength to stand firm, but she didn’t expect to feel a heart-wrenching pain from her ankle. If it was in her previous life, she could easily overcome it.

But in this life, Xia Wanyuan was so delicate that she could not exert any strength after spraining her ankle. Xia Wanyuan could only fall in the direction of the lawn, hoping that it would be lighter.

However, the pain she expected did not come. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

The smell of a mature man’s cologne wafted over from the shop. Xia Wanyuan raised her head and saw a firm line of jawline.

“Is everything okay?”

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Jun Shiling tensed up slightly. He calmly helped Xia Wanyuan up, but she had seriously sprained her leg. A slight movement would be as if ten thousand needles were stabbing into her.

Xia Wanyuan fell into Jun Shiling’s arms again.

…

Jun Shiling reached out to hug Xia Wanyuan. Looking at her lowered eyes, he suddenly bent down and carried her, then steadily walked into the manor.

As he was in too much of a hurry and could not hang up on the call, the other party was forced to hear the entire conversation.

A delicate cry of ‘aiyo’, and a cry of pain that made one’s heart ache.
