After getting the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients, Xia Wanyuan gave everyone a break.
After finishing his work, he walked downstairs and saw that the living room was empty. Jun Shiling looked around but did not see Xia Wanyuan.
"Young Master, Madam is cooking in the kitchen."

Before Jun Shiling could speak, Uncle Wang stepped forward and informed him of Xia Wanyuan's movements.
Jun Shiling walked to the kitchen door and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was busy inside.
The others all had work meals, and Xia Wanyuan only needed to cook for three people. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had prepared three dishes and a soup, and she was cooking pork ribs in the pot.
The boiling soup kept bubbling, making some gurgling noises. A thick fragrance floated in the air.
The lights in the kitchen were relatively dim. At that moment, they shone on Xia Wanyuan, making her look very gentle.
Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an apron, had an extremely graceful waist outlined by a string. Her long seaweed-like hair was simply tied behind her head, and her entire person exuded extreme warmth.
"Are you done?" Xia Wanyuan turned around and was about to put some seasonings into her ribs when she saw Jun Shiling standing quietly at the door.
"Mm, why are you cooking yourself?" Jun Shiling restrained the emotions in his eyes and walked into the kitchen.
"I'm doing it for you."
"For me?" Xia Wanyuan's short sentence made Jun Shiling's heart feel as if it had been soaked in warm water.
"Thank you for the manager you found for me. You're already the richest man in the world. Thinking about it, there's nothing I can give you, so I'll make a meal to thank you." Xia Wanyuan smiled.
"Okay." Jun Shiling nodded and rolled up his sleeves. "What do you need me to do?"
"Wash that. I'll cut the tofu." Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony with Jun Shiling and pointed at the vegetables on the chopping board.
"Mm." Jun Shiling washed the vegetables in the pool while Xia Wanyuan cut the vegetables on the chopping board.
The fragrance of caramel suddenly came from the air. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly walked to the stove and removed the lid. The rich fragrance of meat wafted over.
Xia Wanyuan turned up the fire and gathered the juice fully. The thick soup wrapped around the soft pork ribs, making it look extremely alluring.
Picking up a plate to scoop up the pork ribs, Xia Wanyuan turned to cut the remaining dishes. Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling, who had just washed the dishes, turned around too. Xia Wanyuan bumped into Jun Shiling's chin.
"Hiss!" Jun Shiling was stunned by the collision and exclaimed softly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took a step back.
"Where's the repayment? I haven't even eaten yet." Jun Shiling stroked his chin and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile in his eyes.
"But you can't blame me. Who asked you to suddenly turn around?"
Xia Wanyuan did not realize that in front of Jun Shiling, she had gradually become 'unreasonable'.
"Mm, it's my fault." Jun Shiling smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of undetectable indulgence. "Then leave first. I'll turn around when you're done."

Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling's words. "Since when does CEO Jun like to make fun of people?"
Jun Shiling smiled but did not speak.
By the time the food was ready, Xiao Bao had just returned home. Ever since they found out that Xiao Bao was Jun Shiling's son, he had received important care in kindergarten. Finally, no one dared to snatch his milk candy anymore.
That night, Jun Shiling had three bowls and Xiao Bao had two bowls of rice for dinner. They ate all the food on the table.
"Mommy, the food you make is the best I've ever eaten!"
The corners of Xiao Bao's lips were still stained with pork ribs, making him look like a little cat. As soon as he put down the bowl, he started praising Xia Wanyuan.
Chapter 182: Confrontation at the Auction
"Really? You said yesterday that Nanny Li's chicken wings were the best dish you've ever eaten."
After being mercilessly exposed by Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao puffed up his cheeks guiltily.
"Anyway, Mommy, your food is the best. Nanny Li's are the second best!"

"Thank you for your good evaluation, Xiao Bao ~" Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao's soft and cute head. Jun Shiling's eyes were filled with warmth when he saw this scene.
That day, when the management of the Jun Corporation refreshed their WeChat Moments as usual, they suddenly saw a nine-collage story. In the nine photos, sweet and sour pork whetted one's appetite, and the prawns looked fair and tender. In the middle of the night, they were extremely appetizing.
However, there were only four dishes and he had posted nine photos. There must be something wrong with this person, everyone thought to themselves.
Then, they habitually prepared to scroll away, but they suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then, they returned to take a look at the highlighted section.
CEO Jun!
Everyone could not remain calm anymore. Jun Shiling had never posted anything on his Moments.
Should I pretend not to see my boss's WeChat friend circle or echo it? I'm panicking online.
Just as everyone was hesitating, they saw a comment under Jun Shiling's post.
Lin Jing: "Madam is amazing. The food looks delicious. Young Master, you're so lucky."
What was Lin Jing? He was the direction of the Jun Corporation!! It was right to follow Assistant Lin!!
Hence, very quickly, there were many comments under Jun Shiling's post.
"It looks too appetizing. Aren't nine photos too little? I feel that putting a hundred isn't too much!"
"Madam is really amazing!"
"Madam actually cooked for CEO Jun herself. It's enough to see how much Madam cares and loves CEO Jun. We're so envious."
"I wish CEO Jun and Madam a long and blissful life."
Jun Shiling, who was lying on the bed and looking at his WeChat Moments before sleep, scrolled through the replies and a satisfied look flashed across his eyes.

"Which works are there today?" Xuan Sheng had just finished a meeting. He pulled off his tie and threw it aside as he asked his assistant.
"There's Master Su Qian, Master Lin Yu, and Yuan Wanxia, who has been in the limelight recently. Although he's not famous, I think the old master might like his style."
"Let's go. We have nothing to do now anyway. Let's go and take a look."
"Okay." The assistant hurriedly sent a car.

"Young Master, Madam's painting should be the third one to appear."

"Mm." Jun Shiling sat in the VIP room and looked at the bustling auction downstairs through the window.
"Welcome to today's auction. Today's auction is mainly about painting and calligraphy. Everyone can choose what you like to auction as much as you want. Alright, let's not talk too much. Let's see today's first item."
The host downstairs began to introduce the author of the calligraphy and painting, his style and value.
Xuan Sheng sat in the VIP room with a pair of slender legs on the table. He looked at the painting on the screen in front of him without any interest.
"How do you do things? Is this kind of person worth my attention?"
The old master of the Xuan family liked calligraphy and painting. He was not trying to be elegant, but he was truly an expert. In order to please the old master, Xuan Sheng had secretly put in a lot of effort and thought into it. Naturally, he had some ability in this aspect. Even he did not fancy them, let alone the old master.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, the host on the screen began to introduce the third calligraphy piece of the day.
It was a The Map of Central Pine Fisheries from Yuan Wanxia.
