Chapter 326: The Princess Was Ridiculed by the Crowd
[ Back then, someone even said that Xia Wanyuan didn’t take a fancy to the script for “The Moon Palace”. Is this a slap in the face? ]
[ Xia Wanyuan’s acting skills are not bad, right? I watched ‘The Long Ballad’. Anyway, I think it’s quite good. It’s not as bad as what the Internet says. ]
[ Passers-by pass by. I think Xia Wanyuan is much better looking than Bai Lian. ]
[ Haha, what’s the use of looking good? She hasn’t been selected by ‘Above the Moon Palace’ yet. Our Bai Lian is more popular than some people. ]
[ Pfft, some people don’t have acting skills or ability, so they can only brag about their looks. Isn’t it pathetic? They went up to act in ‘The Moon Palace’ but didn’t succeed. Now, they’re trying to touch your Sister Bai’s porcelain?? Why don’t you look at the difference in celebrity status? Xia Wanyuan isn’t even fit to carry Bai Lian’s shoes. ]
Actually, not many people had paid attention to this interview, but Bai Lian’s fans had always been famous for being competitive.
After seeing Bai Lian and Xia Wanyuan’s appearances, many real passers-by felt that Xia Wanyuan looked much better. After posting some comments, Bai Lian’s fans were unhappy and felt that Xia Wanyuan was trying to frame Bai Lian.
Hence, the director’s interview was treated as a divine tool to slap faces. They publicized that “Xia Wanyuan has been personally confirmed by the director that her acting skills are bad”.
Passers-by who didn’t pay attention to these things gradually began to talk about Xia Wanyuan not choosing “Above the Moon Palace”.
Public opinion had always been easy to change. The director of “Above the Moon Palace” was a top-notch director in the country. He had already said that Xia Wanyuan was incapable, so everyone had an additional bad impression of her.
Although Xia Wanyuan had said that she wanted to invest, it was impossible for Xia Wanyuan to support the success of a drama alone.
Because of Yan Ci’s participation, many investors were eager to cooperate with Li Heng. They had already discussed the final stages when they suddenly heard the director of “The Moon Palace”.
Everyone was a little hesitant. After all, the Moon Palace was also recruiting investors. No one wanted to lose money. If Xia Wanyuan really lacked ability as that director had said, wouldn’t their investment money go down the drain?
A group of people began to retreat. As long as there was a first group, the second group quickly retreated. The filming that had already gone on the right track was put on hold.
Some marketing accounts on the Internet directly posted the title “Xia Wanyuan frightened away twenty investors” in order to attract attention. They fully analyzed the reason why Xia Wanyuan was not chosen by the production team of “The Moon Palace”, and then listed various data to compare Xia Wanyuan with Bai Lian.
In the end, they concluded that investing in “Above the Moon Palace” would earn more than investing in “Moon As Frost”. Investing in “Moon As Frost” was very likely to lose everything.
The production team of “Above the Moon Palace” received many investments all of a sudden, while “Moon As Frost” was miserable.
When Xia Wanyuan heard about this matter, she originally wanted to invest more, but Shen Qian sent news that because the company’s project was in the beginning stages, there was no way to take out extra money to invest in the production team, so Xia Wanyuan could only give up.
There were a lot of people watching the fun. Li Heng and Yang Jiu had a headache because of the investment.
Just as Bai Lian’s fans were overjoyed that Xia Wanyuan had been mocked by the crowd, a Weibo account that had been forgotten and covered in dust suddenly posted.
Chapter 327: Master Jun’s Other Identity
Speaking of the coldest account on Weibo, if the Jun Corporation’s official Weibo account was second, no one would dare to claim first.
The official Weibo account of the Jun Corporation was like Jun Shiling, the person in charge, low-key and mysterious.
After all, the Jun Corporation did not need any publicity. Its existence was a living signboard.
The Jun Corporation had only posted one Weibo post so far, and it only had three words. “Hello, everyone.”
Back then, Jun Shiling had personally registered this account and had handed it over to Lin Jing to manage. However, the public announcements of the Jun Corporation were basically on the official website, and there was no need for any publicity on Weibo. This account had stayed in the post from four years ago.
However, even though it had pretended to be dead for ten years, it had nearly a hundred million fans because it was the Jun Corporation.
And this huge monster had woken up today.
It reposted a Weibo post from Star Creation Entertainment that announced that they would inject 300 million dollars into the production team of “Moon As Frost”.
[ Big boss, you’re awake. ]
[ What’s going on? Has the Jun Corporation’s account been hacked? ]
[ The person in front, ask around and see who recruited the world’s most powerful hacker alliance. Whoever can hack into the Jun Corporation’s account is really a god. ]
[ Don’t you know that Star Creation Entertainment was bought over by the Jun Corporation not long ago? How could Star Creation Entertainment be so rich in the past? The Jun Corporation probably invested this 300 million behind their backs. ]
[ Actually, I’ve always felt that ‘Moon As Frost’ would fail so badly that my parents wouldn’t recognize it. Even with the addition of Yan Ci, I feel the same way. However, with the Jun Corporation joining, I suddenly feel that we might be blind. ]
[ I have the same feeling now. To be able to gain the favor of the Jun Corporation, he probably has merits that we haven’t seen yet. Our Brother Yan Ci’s taste is really too good. Every time he chooses a script, he’s especially unique. I’m looking forward to ‘Moon As Frost’. ]
The news that the Jun Corporation had invested 300 million dollars into the production team of “Moon As Frost” exploded in the investment world. The Jun Corporation was the global trend.
Let alone drinking meat soup with him, even eating the scraps was enough for everyone to make a killing.
Hence, those investors who had already withdrawn were now squeezing back with all their might.
However, there was no medicine for regret in the world. The Jun Corporation’s investment was already enough for the production team. Now, countless people wanted to take a share of “Moon As Frost”, but they did not have the chance to insert the spoon in.
When Li Heng received the news, he bowed to the Goddess of Mercy statue that his mother had been praying to every day at home. He really felt like he was in a dream. First, Xia Wanyuan accepted the script, and then Yan Ci actually acted as the male lead.
Now that even the legendary Jun Corporation had come to invest in him, Li Heng felt that he was floating.
——
After agreeing to Cai Qin’s request to attend the World Music Competition, Xia Wanyuan had also done some research.
The World Music Competition was not restricted to whichever race, country, or musical instrument. Anyone could participate in the Internet preliminaries. After the preliminaries, they would go through the semi-finals and compete for the final gold award in Olly.
Xia Wanyuan took the zither and practiced in the living room.
Other than school homework, Xiao Bao also had additional homework that Jun Shiling had assigned at night. Xiao Bao was usually mischievous, but he had always completed Jun Shiling’s words and tasks seriously.
Jun Shiling returned home after work and saw Xiao Bao sitting on the short stool that had been specially made for him. Xia Wanyuan was playing the zither by the window. Jun Shiling’s heart softened. Thinking of the news he had just received, a look of reluctance flashed across his eyes.
“Daddy.” Seeing Jun Shiling return, Xiao Bao looked up and called out obediently. Jun Shiling stroked his soft hair.
Xia Wanyuan did not stop playing. Jun Shiling sat at the side and listened intently. The living room was filled with warmth.
After Xia Wanyuan finished playing the song, she glanced at Jun Shiling’s expression and felt that something was wrong, so she got Uncle Wang to accompany Xiao Bao to do his homework while she brought Jun Shiling upstairs to the study.
“What’s wrong with you?” Xia Wanyuan placed the zither in the box and asked.
“I have something on tomorrow and have to go abroad. I might not be back in two or three days.” There was strong reluctance on Jun Shiling’s face.
“Mm, alright.” A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s heart. She was used to having Jun Shiling by her side. Xia Wanyuan was a little unaccustomed to him suddenly saying that he wanted to leave.
Jun Shiling caught the disappointment in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes at the right time. His originally deep eyes lit up, and Jun Shiling reached out to pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms.
Xia Wanyuan moved, and Jun Shiling pressed her down. “I’m about to leave. Let me hug you for a while.” Then, Xia Wanyuan quietened down.
Jun Shiling smiled and placed his head by Xia Wanyuan’s neck, pressing his face against her hair.
“I can’t bear to part with you,” Jun Shiling said softly with deep attachment.
“Then come back early.”
The moment Xia Wanyuan spoke, Jun Shiling’s grip on her tightened. “Will you miss me?”
“You’ll only be gone for two to three days. What do you mean by whether I’ll miss you? Can’t we still call?” Xia Wanyuan’s face was flushed red from the heat Jun Shiling blew on her ear.
“Isn’t two to three days long?” Jun Shiling’s tone actually carried a hint of grievance. “Even if you’re in my arms, I miss you very much. Do you believe me?”
Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan away slightly, then showed the affection and longing in his eyes to her without hiding it.
The longing and love in Jun Shiling’s eyes were so thick that it was about to become tangible. Even someone with a thousand degrees of short-sightedness could tell that Xia Wanyuan’s heart trembled from this gaze.
“I’ll miss you.” Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan again.
This time, Xia Wanyuan replied with an “Mm” and didn’t say anything else.
However, the smile in Jun Shiling’s eyes widened.
Because of the slender hands around her waist.
At 3: 00 in the morning, Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao were sleeping soundly. Jun Shiling had already quietly gotten up and looked at his wife and son on the bed for a while. Jun Shiling planted a gentle kiss on both their faces, then left the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Outside the manor, Bo Xiao was waiting for Jun Shiling.
“Have you sent them any news?” Jun Shiling got into the car, and the chauffeur immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the airport.
“Yes, they’re already prepared.”
“Mm,” Jun Shiling replied, and the car fell into silence.
——
Thirteen hours later, the private plane landed on a parking space by the mountains of Continent F.
Countless armed personnel lined up and waited respectfully for the door to open.
The door opened. Other than the few high-ranking officials, everyone else lowered their heads.
“Zeus.” A few high-level staff stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
Chapter 328: The Princess Finally Thought it Through
Jun Shiling waved his hand and restrained his coldness. He sat on a military helicopter that had been waiting for him and gradually disappeared into the mountains.
Xia Wanyuan woke up in the morning and pushed open the door to take a look.
“Madam, Young Master left last night.” Uncle Wang stepped forward and explained.
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
During breakfast, although Xia Wanyuan’s expression remained the same, Uncle Wang noticed that her appetite had shrunk by half. The food in front of her was barely touched.
After eating, Xiao Bao was sent to school, and Xia Wanyuan went to the production team to officially hold the opening ceremony.
With the injection of funds from the Jun Corporation, Li Heng’s actions were very fast. All the actors were already in position, and the props and scenes were progressing methodically.
After the opening ceremony, Li Heng gathered everyone together to get to know each other. Since the setting of the studio had not been completed, the director gave everyone five days off to study the script.
Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that she would have to enter the production team to film after the opening ceremony. Who would have thought that she would have five more days of leave for no reason and would have a lot of time?
Xia Wanyuan was thinking about how to arrange the next five days when she received a call from Shen Qian.
Xia Wanyuan got the chauffeur to send her to the company.
“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?” Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair and took the document from Shen Qian.
“Our construction team dug a large limestone cave during the construction project. According to the research of the higher-ups, it is very rare and precious, so we need to protect the Falling Phoenix Mountain where the limestone cave is. However, the main part of our project is on the Falling Phoenix Mountain. With this protection, our project will be especially affected.”
Shen Qian also sent people to negotiate a few times, but the local department’s attitude was very unyielding. They refused to give in, so Shen Qian could only give up.
Looking at the Moon Mountain project in her hand, Xia Wanyuan thought for a while and suddenly said, “I’ll go and take a look myself.”
Anyway, she still had five days before she entered the production team. She had originally planned to go to the Moon Mountain project after Old Master’s birthday, so it was not a bad idea to go early.
“That’s great.” Shen Qian nodded happily. If Xia Wanyuan went personally, this matter would definitely be resolved very well.
Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor and called the Old Master to put Xiao Bao in foster care. The Old Master readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan could not help but look at her call logs.
It was blank.
It was already the next evening. It had been almost twenty hours since Jun Shiling left, but Jun Shiling had not called or sent her a single text.
Why did he say that he missed me? Hmph.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s heart.
At that moment, in the depths of Continent F, Jun Shiling was sitting in the command center, looking at the infrared signals on the screen. Every point on the screen represented traces of the underground kingdom’s activities.
Jun Shiling watched quietly for a while before suddenly pointing at a small dot in the upper right corner. “Focus on this city. Have you discussed with the military?”
“We’ve already informed them. The military will do their best to make peace.”
“Mm, continue to search for the location of the laboratory for Poison Scorpion,” Jun Shiling said as he stood up and walked to the glass corridor outside.
Looking out of the glass corridor, there was a deep cliff that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no conventional signal in the command room built two thousand meters underground. Jun Shiling took out his phone and looked at the table.
This was a photo of Xia Wanyuan in her life. She was wearing an apricot white shoulder knitted shirt, and she was curled up on the sofa, looking warm and gentle. When Jun Shiling looked at this photo, his expression softened.
Bo Xiao, who was wearing a white lab coat and gloves, walked over. “From your expression, I think you miss sister-in-law.”
Jun Shiling put away his phone and glanced at Bo Xiao coldly. “Is the results out?”
“If I do it, will there be anything that can’t come out?” Bo Xiao waved the small bag in his hand in front of Jun Shiling. “I’ve found it. My initial guess is that this Old K might have gone to China personally.”
“Besides,” Bo Xiao couldn’t believe the conclusion he had found. “After analyzing the sequence of that strand of hair, Old K is likely dead. The new successor, KING, is actually a young man no older than 25 years old.”
Hearing Bo Xiao’s words, Jun Shiling fell into deep thought. There was a black hole outside the glass, roaring as it tried to swallow the only light in the depths of the earth.
However, Jun Shiling stood there quietly with a calming force. It was as if no matter how the darkness roared, it could not shake the light behind Jun Shiling at all.
——
Xia Wanyuan tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but she still couldn’t fall asleep. She subconsciously glanced at her phone, but there was still no news.
Xia Wanyuan buried herself in the blanket. Out of sight, out of mind.
Ding Ling
Her phone suddenly rang. Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the phone. The words’ Jun Shiling ‘flashed on it.
Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.
“Hello?” Jun Shiling’s deep voice came from the phone. Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt as if she had not heard Jun Shiling speak for a long time.
“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied softly.
“I missed you.” Jun Shiling’s voice, filled with strong longing, smashed into Xia Wanyuan’s heart.
“Mm.”
“Did you miss me?” Because of the signal restriction and the privacy restrictions, it was already extremely difficult for Jun Shiling to call Xia Wanyuan, let alone make a video call. Although he could not see Xia Wanyuan’s face, Jun Shiling could imagine how Xia Wanyuan had blushed from his words.
“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied softly.
“Although…” Jun Shiling did not expect Xia Wanyuan’s answer to be this. He originally wanted to say “although you don’t miss me, I miss you” but he swallowed it back.
Jun Shiling lowered his voice as if he was afraid of scaring Xia Wanyuan. “Say it again. I didn’t hear you clearly. Did you miss me?”
Xia Wanyuan was already a little shy. Hearing Jun Shiling’s gentle voice as he coaxed a child, her face, which was buried under the blanket, turned even redder. Only then did she realize what she had just said.
“Be good. Can you say it again? Did you miss me?” Jun Shiling’s tone became even gentler, so gentle that water was about to drip from it.
“Mm, I missed you.” Although Xia Wanyuan was embarrassed, she did not want to lie. There had been no news of Jun Shiling for more than twenty hours, so she naturally missed him.
The breathing on the other end of the line suddenly increased, and both sides fell silent. It was so quiet that only the sound of electricity could be heard.
“You’re really my ancestor.” After a while, Jun Shiling’s voice was hoarse, as if he had to exert a lot of strength to control his emotions.
Chapter 329: Baby Pampered
This woman was sent by the heavens to torture him.
For twenty hours, God knew how much self-control he had to suppress the urge to go back and see her.
However, her soft “I missed you.” She made him lose his armor. If not for the mission on him, he would have taken the plane back to her.
“What?” Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed after saying that she missed you. She bit her lip until it formed a mark.
Although there was no video, after being together for so long, Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan’s every move like the back of his hand. “Be good. Don’t bite your lips.”
Xia Wanyuan blushed from his words, but she still listened to Jun Shiling and let go of her lips.
“I’ll tell you a story. Sleep well.” Jun Shiling was very busy. It had been a long time since he had come here, and there were many things waiting for him to settle.
“I don’t want to listen to stories, I want to listen to songs.” Jun Shiling’s tone was too gentle. Even though Xia Wanyuan had never been an unreasonable woman, in front of such overwhelming tolerance, she could not help but become delicate.
“Ha.” Jun Shiling’s laughter came from the phone. “Baby, are you asking to be pampered?”
“Who’s your baby?” Having lived for two lifetimes, Xia Wanyuan had never been called ‘baby’ by anyone. Furthermore, in such a tone that was enough to melt someone, Xia Wanyuan’s entire face flushed red.
However, the joy and sweetness in her heart could not help but slip out.
“It’s okay, I’ll allow you to be pampered.” Jun Shiling smiled and said dotingly, “I’ll always allow it.”
Jun Shiling began to hum the songs from Xia Wanyuan’s album. Xia Wanyuan had never heard Jun Shiling sing before, but it could not be denied that Jun Shiling’s voice was extremely pleasant to begin with. On the phone, it appeared even more magnetic.
“I didn’t expect CEO Jun to sing so well,” Xia Wanyuan praised. “Why haven’t I heard you sing before?”
“If you like it in the future, I’ll sing it for you every day.” Jun Shiling’s smiling voice sounded.
“Why do you have so many sweet words?”
“You can feel the sincerity.” After Jun Shiling finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan fell silent. She could indeed feel Jun Shiling’s heartfelt love and care. It was so heavy that Xia Wanyuan could not bear it.
“I’m going to bed. I’m not talking to you anymore.” Xia Wanyuan chose to sleep. She felt that she was not Jun Shiling’s match.
“Okay, good night.” Jun Shiling smiled and Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone.
Standing in front of the glass window and looking at the laboratory group, the passion in his eyes was still there. However, at that moment, there was still a terrifying darkness surging in Jun Shiling’s eyes.
He had always been used to being cold and aloof, and he had never displayed any possessiveness towards anyone. However, Xia Wanyuan was becoming more and more dependent on him, and she was getting closer and closer to him.
The possessiveness that came roaring like a storm made him almost lose control.
Although Xia Wanyuan, who had been tossing and turning in bed, had fallen asleep with her face flushed after receiving Jun Shiling’s call, it was undeniable that
It was a good night’s sleep.
Xiao Bao had already been sent to the old master. Xia Wanyuan packed her things and rushed to the airport. Now that she had more and more business activities, Tang Yin and Chen Yun were even busier.
Since there were only a few days left, Xia Wanyuan went to the Moon Mountain project alone.
However, when they got on the plane, a familiar person came up from the neighboring seat.
Chapter 330: Something’s Going to Happen to the Princess
At the last moment before the plane closed, a tall figure sat beside Xia Wanyuan.
“Miss Xia, long time no see.” The familiar amorous eyes curved up. Xuan Sheng smiled at Xia Wanyuan.
“Mm, where are you going?” Xia Wanyuan nodded at Xuan Sheng.
“I’m going to Moon Mountain. It’s a project I invested in after all. Shouldn’t I go and take a look after such a big thing has happened? Don’t tell me you’re going to Moon Mountain too, Ms. Xia?”
“Mm, I’ll go too.”
“What a coincidence.” Xuan Sheng smiled again.
Xia Wanyuan nodded and didn’t speak further.
However, an hour ago, in Glory World Corporation’s office,
“Young Master, we just learned that Miss Xia is preparing to go for an inspection at the Moon Bay project.”
Xuan Sheng, who was typing on the computer, suddenly stopped. “When?”
“In an hour.”
Xuan Sheng stood up immediately and his assistant hurried after him. “Young Master, where are you going?”
“The airport.”
After deducting 12 points from his assistant, Xuan Sheng finally entered the airport and boarded the plane at the last moment.
Xuan Sheng tilted his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan’s exquisite side profile. He felt that the 12 marks his assistant had deducted were worth it. He would go back and increase his salary.
The flight took a long time and it was lunchtime. The air stewardess brought lunch to the passengers.
Xuan Sheng could not even eat the food made by the star chef at home, let alone this pile of food in the lunch box. Xuan Sheng was about to say no when Xia Wanyuan reached out and took a box. Xuan Sheng paused for a moment and took a box from the stewardess.
Xia Wanyuan was someone who had an extremely low tolerance for food and a high limit.
When there was nothing to eat, the coarse rice and steamed buns could be dealt with. When there was something to eat, she liked the Manchu Han Imperial Feast too.
On the plane, it was a time where there was nothing to eat. Xia Wanyuan nimbly opened the packaging and looked like a ball of blurry curry potato. It tasted pretty good.
Xia anyuan ate spoon by spoon, while Xuan Sheng watched her eat.
“What’s wrong?” Sensing that Xuan Sheng had been looking at her, Xia Wanyuan turned around and asked.
“Is it delicious?” Xuan Sheng’s good-looking eyebrows were furrowed. That black thing looked a little strange.
It’s okay. You can’t not eat, right? It’s not healthy for your body.” After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she recalled how Xuan Sheng did not like to eat last time. “You should eat more.”
“I ate a lot too, okay? More than you.” Feeling that Xia Wanyuan had underestimated him, Xuan Sheng was somewhat unconvinced. He opened the lunch box.
Perhaps because Xia Wanyuan was by his side, his manic emotions had calmed down a lot. This time, when he ate the food that he thought was extremely disgusting, he did not feel the disgust that surged up.
After Xia Wanyuan finished a box of rice, Xuan Sheng also finished a box. As if to show that he had eaten more than Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng specially ate an extra apple.
Xia Wanyuan sensed Xuan Sheng’s thoughts and was a little amused. There was a hint of a smile in her eyes. Xuan Sheng was stunned.
“Miss Xia, seriously, if you can’t be a canary anymore, I’ll chase after celebrities and raise you.”
“CEO Xuan, you really know how to joke.” Xuan Sheng had always been unpredictable, so Xia Wanyuan didn’t take his words seriously.
Xuan Sheng smiled. When he lowered his eyes, his eyes were filled with seriousness.
In the evening, the plane finally landed at the airport beside Moon Bay.
Moon Bay was a tourist attraction that was in the midst of development. It was located in the south and had beautiful mountains and rivers. The natural scenery was extremely good. As it was still developing, there was only a relatively good hotel not far from it. Xuan Sheng and Xia Wanyuan lived there.
Xuan Sheng threw his luggage to his assistant and helped Xia Wanyuan carry her luggage.
On the same floor with different room numbers, Xia Wanyuan returned to her room after registering.
When the person in charge of Moon Bay heard that Xuan Sheng had come, he immediately found two beautiful women and sent them to Xuan Sheng’s room.
In places with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the most beautiful women could be raised. Even Xuan Sheng, who had seen countless beauties, could not help but praise them in his heart.
The two beauties standing in the room naturally had excellent figures. There was the gentleness and charm of a Jiangnan woman in her eyes. If it was in the past, he would definitely accept them happily.
However, Xuan Sheng did not know what was wrong with him. He felt that it was very boring. When he saw the woman in front of him who was like water, he felt even more irritated. He waved his hand. “Go out.”
After the two of them left, Xuan Sheng turned on the music. The soothing voice echoed in the room. He felt that his agitation had been calmed.
——
Jun Shiling was extremely busy. The underground kingdom’s power developed faster than anyone had imagined, and Jun Shiling’s arrival seemed to have given everyone a boost. Basically, everyone here had to show Jun Shiling all the important decisions.
After signing the last document on the table, Jun Shiling raised his hand to look at his watch, his eyes cold.
It was eleven o’clock in China. According to Xia Wanyuan’s habits, she should have fallen asleep long ago.
Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment with the phone in his hand. With a hint of hope in his heart, he called.
“Hello.” The call was picked up very quickly. There was no sleepiness in Xia Wanyuan’s voice.
“You’re not asleep yet?”
“I missed the time after reading some documents.” Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips.
“Really?” Jun Shiling chuckled. “Didn’t you wait for me?”
Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment. “No.”
Jun Shiling did not probe further. “I was very busy today, so I forgot the time. Sorry.”
“Mm, is it tough?” Xia Wanyuan asked casually.
“It’s so tough.” There was an obvious grievance in Jun Shiling’s tone. Then, he changed the topic. “When I go back, you can let me kiss you a few more times, then I won’t feel the pain anymore.”
“It looks like you didn’t work hard either. How can you be so glib?” Xia Wanyuan’s cold voice sounded, but Jun Shiling was not angry.
He knew that Xia Wanyuan’s tone was cold, but her face must be burning.
“Be good, I’ll accompany you to sleep. I have a meeting later.” Jun Shiling wanted to talk to Xia Wanyuan for a while, but there were hundreds of people waiting for him to attend the meeting. He could only try his best to accompany Xia Wanyuan and attend the meeting after she fell asleep.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice softened. Jun Shiling gently sang the second song in Xia Wanyuan’s album as she gradually fell asleep.
Jun Shiling hung up the phone and casually drank a bottle of nutrient solution. He had no time to call at all, so he could only call Xia Wanyuan while he was eating. After the call, it was time for the meeting. Jun Shiling put away his phone and walked into the meeting room.
In the huge staircase hall, there were rows of politicians and generals who often appeared on television. At that moment, they looked at Jun Shiling with reverence and respect.
————
Xia Wanyuan had a good sleep. Just as she finished breakfast, the person in charge of Moon Bay ran over anxiously. “Oh no, something happened.”
