princess is glamorous in the modern day

251-255

“Am I that lacking in women?” Jun Shiling’s eyes, which were still smiling but darkened when he heard Xia Wanyuan’s words.

Jun Shiling’s heart sank. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan’s lack of resistance represented a good signal, but Xia Wanyuan’s words had poured cold water on him.

She clearly did not resist his approach. He thought that she had some feelings for him, but she could actually say so calmly that she did not mind him finding someone else.

“That’s not what I meant.” Xia Wanyuan could not describe what she was feeling. She felt a little confused.

She had always been calm and composed. This flustered and somewhat bitter emotion made her feel unfamiliar. After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she did not know what else to say.

Chapter 252: Awkward
The room fell silent.

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“Alright, I’m going upstairs to work. Call me if there’s anything.” Jun Shiling had finally returned to his gentle appearance. There was no change in his eyes, but Xia Wanyuan did not feel very happy. Instead, she felt a strange sense of loss.

For a moment just now, Jun Shiling wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan directly if she could not divorce him, if she could stay by his side, if she could like him a little.

However, Jun Shiling restrained himself in the end.

He had never been afraid of doing a business worth tens of billions. This was because he could calculate the profits of the business through precise calculations and powerful logical ability. Even if there was a 50% risk, he could rely on his own ability to contain this risk.

However, facing Xia Wanyuan, he did not even dare to take a 0.01% risk. He was afraid that once he spoke, there would be no turning back.

Xia Wanyuan watched television downstairs with mixed emotions. It was already time to sleep, but Xia Wanyuan had not gone upstairs.

Xiao Bao was still in the courtyard and had not returned. There were only two people left in the main building. What had always seemed normal in the past made Xia Wanyuan inexplicably panic today.

“Madam, it’s time to go up and sleep.” Nanny Li walked over.

“Where’s Jun Shiling?”

“Young Master is already sleeping in the secondary bedroom.” Nanny Li looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. Could it be that the two of them had a fight?

“Mm, got it.” Xia Wanyuan switched off the television and walked upstairs.

Xia Wanyuan had always had a good sleep quality, but today, she was very surprised to lose sleep.

Without Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling’s bed, the space was especially large. Xia Wanyuan rolled around on the bed and smelled the familiar scent of pine.

This smell made Xia Wanyuan involuntarily recall the scene when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance in the pool today. Jun Shiling’s heavy breathing seemed to spray beside her ear, and that gentle and aggressive possessiveness kept repeating in her mind.

In the darkness, Xia Wanyuan blushed.

As she thought about some random things, Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep. In her sleep, it was as if the cold pine fragrance made her feel at ease. Xia Wanyuan rolled towards the place where Jun Shiling usually slept. It was only when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance that Xia Wanyuan’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed and fell into her sweet dream.

Jun Shiling, who was next door, could only endure the fatigue and spend the night sleepless.

The next morning, Jun Shiling poured milk for Xia Wanyuan and picked up her favorite food for her as usual, but he was extremely restrained and polite.
