Chapter 336: Get Together!! Hehe
Xia Wanyuan had just left the corners of Jun Shiling’s lips. The two of them were very close, their breathing intertwined.
“Kissing me secretly while I was asleep?” Jun Shiling suddenly smiled, his eyes shockingly bright. The heat that came out of his mouth made Xia Wanyuan’s heart tremble.
“Since when?” Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed.
“Okay, it’s not a secret kiss. Now that I’m awake, you can kiss me openly.” Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan’s face turn redder and redder, and his heart almost melted into a puddle.
Xia Wanyuan was not a coy person to begin with. She was not as embarrassed as Jun Shiling thought. She mustered her courage and looked up at Jun Shiling.
Even though he had slept, Jun Shiling’s eyes were still bloodshot, and he could not hide his fatigue.
Xia Wanyuan steeled her heart and leaned forward to peck Jun Shiling’s left cheek again. Then, she stepped back and said arrogantly, “It’s open and aboveboard.” However, her eyes dodged, not daring to meet Jun Shiling’s burning gaze.
Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile on his face. The corners of his lips seemed to still retain Xia Wanyuan’s warmth. Jun Shiling moved forward, his upper body leaning closer to Xia Wanyuan, and his lower body maintained a distance from Xia Wanyuan’s injured leg.
“Let me hug you.” Jun Shiling’s voice sounded in Xia Wanyuan’s ear. Xia Wanyuan’s ears were red. She looked up and saw the boundless indulgence in Jun Shiling’s eyes.
Jun Shiling reached out his arm and wrapped it around Xia Wanyuan’s neck, hugging her tightly.
Leaning against Jun Shiling’s strong heartbeat, Xia Wanyuan suddenly felt at ease. The coldness in the cave seemed to still be in front of her, but it was blocked by Jun Shiling’s warmth.
Xia Wanyuan reached out and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling’s waist. Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s dependence, Jun Shiling’s body stiffened.
Suddenly feeling a warmth on her forehead, Xia Wanyuan shuddered. Then, she heard Jun Shiling mutter softly, “I love you.” Xia Wanyuan paused.
Jun Shiling planted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan’s hair.
“I love you.”
cheeks,
“I love you.”
eyes,
……..
Jun Shiling had paced around countless places and said ‘I love you’ countless times. It was only when Xia Wanyuan was completely red that Jun Shiling covered her with his blanket.
Jun Shiling’s actions were especially gentle as he gently demanded the sweetness that belonged to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan felt as if she had fallen into the clouds and into Jun Shiling’s patient and tolerant net. She felt extremely at ease.
Xia Wanyuan had already made up her mind. Now, she no longer resisted Jun Shiling’s advances. Instead, she clung to his shoulders and responded clumsily.
Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s clumsy response, Jun Shiling first paused, then became even more intense.
After some time, Jun Shiling finally let go of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms and sucked in air.
“Have I waited for you?” Jun Shiling stared at Xia Wanyuan and asked.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and no longer avoided Jun Shiling’s scorching gaze.
Even though he had already guessed it, hearing it from Xia Wanyuan still made his heart explode with fireworks. The corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up.
He lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. “Thank you.”
Thank you for being okay. Thank you for being by my side.
“I want to sleep. I’m sleepy.” Xia Wanyuan yawned and shrank into Jun Shiling’s arms.
Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s dependence on him, Jun Shiling’s heart almost melted. His voice became even gentler. “Okay, together.”
The moon was hanging high outside the window, and the people in the house were exchanging warm dreams.
——
Jun Shiling had not slept in a long time. Furthermore, with Xia Wanyuan by his side, his heart was peaceful. He slept very soundly.
When the doctor came for a follow-up examination in the morning, he did not wake Jun Shiling, who was sleeping soundly with Xia Wanyuan in his arms.
The doctor could only look away awkwardly. After helping Xia Wanyuan with all the checkups, he quickly left.
Lying in Jun Shiling’s warm arms, Xia Wanyuan was bored, so she observed Jun Shiling’s face. Although she said that Jun Shiling had become ugly, she thought to herself that Jun Shiling was really good-looking.
After sleeping, Jun Shiling restrained his cold aura. Xia Wanyuan reached out to poke Jun Shiling’s eyelashes. She was about to lean closer to compare how long Jun Shiling’s eyelashes were.
The hand around her waist suddenly tightened, causing her to fall into Jun Shiling’s arms.
“Baby, what are you doing?” Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a deep voice that was increasingly magnetic. It was like an electric current that made Xia Wanyuan’s heart tingle.
“Let’s see if you’re awake.”
Jun Shiling smiled and leaned forward to kiss Xia Wanyuan’s face. “Morning.”
“Good morning.”
“Are you hungry? I’ll get you breakfast.” Jun Shiling did not want to let go of Xia Wanyuan, but he looked at the time and realized it was time to eat.
Jun Shiling said that he wanted to get up, but the hand around his waist did not let go.
A smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. “Be good, I’ll be right back. I’ll be with you in a while. You’ve just recovered, so you can’t be hungry.”
“Mm.” An embarrassed look flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. She nodded and let go.
Soon, Jun Shiling brought the nurse back with a few plates.
After dismissing all the nurses, Jun Shiling picked up a bowl of porridge and blew on it until it was warm. Then, he fed it to Xia Wanyuan.
When Xia Wanyuan was full, Jun Shiling picked up another bowl of porridge and ate it slowly.
“Tsk,” Jun Shiling suddenly said.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan had eaten her fill and was half lying on the bed.
“This porridge doesn’t have much taste.” Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of porridge and looked at Xia Wanyuan meaningfully.
“Ask the chef to make something else for you.” Xia Wanyuan was playing with the little flower in her hand with her head lowered, not noticing Jun Shiling’s gaze.
“No need. I’ll be fine with you.” Jun Shiling had put down his bowl at some point in time and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.
“Madam, add some sugar.” As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling covered Xia Wanyuan’s red face and scraped her mouth little by little. The flowers in Xia Wanyuan’s hand fell, and Jun Shiling’s hand gradually interlocked with hers.
After a while, Jun Shiling moved away and stared at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze. He then said, “So sweet.”
“Eat your food!” Xia Wanyuan pretended to glare at Jun Shiling angrily. Jun Shiling smiled and did not do anything else. He picked up the bowl of porridge and continued eating.
“The porridge is much sweeter now.” Jun Shiling drank a mouthful of porridge and mumbled to himself. Then, he saw Xia Wanyuan’s face gradually turn red.
When the doctor came for another checkup, he entered and saw Xia Wanyuan’s flushed face. He thought that Xia Wanyuan’s inflammation had acted up again, causing her to have a high fever.
“Do you have a fever?! Are you feeling unwell?” The doctor quickly walked to the bed and examined Xia Wanyuan.
Chapter 337: The Princess Acting Coquettishly, Hehe
“You don’t have a fever. Why is your face so red?” the doctor whispered before instructing the nurse. “Remember to open the windows on time for ventilation. The room is too closed and it’s easy to suffocate.”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed. She secretly glanced at Jun Shiling and met his smiling gaze.
Xia Wanyuan’s recovery was very good. After the doctor gave her some instructions, he left the ward.
Feeling embarrassed about what had just happened, Xia Wanyuan threw a rare tantrum with Jun Shiling and glared at him. Then, she deliberately ignored Jun Shiling’s words, afraid that he would say all sorts of things that would make her blush again.
Jun Shiling did not want to be separated from Xia Wanyuan for a second. After the doctor left, Jun Shiling sat on the bed.
“Madam, give me a hug.” The moment Jun Shiling entered the blanket, he opened his arms to Xia Wanyuan.
“Hmph.” Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. “No.”
It was rare to see Xia Wanyuan so delicate. Not only was Jun Shiling not angry, but he also felt that there was another meaning to it. He liked Xia Wanyuan very much.
“Then I’ll hug you.” Jun Shiling stretched out his long arm and hugged Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan actually liked Jun Shiling’s embrace too as it made her feel very safe. Although she said no, Xia Wanyuan did not struggle as she stayed in Jun Shiling’s arms.
Jun Shiling quietly hugged Xia Wanyuan and took a book for her to read. Time passed slowly, and it was lunchtime in the blink of an eye.
As usual, the lunch that was served was porridge and side dishes.
Jun Shiling was not the only one who felt that the porridge tasted too bland. Xia Wanyuan had not eaten anything proper for nearly a week. After eating two consecutive meals of porridge, there was no taste in her mouth. Xia Wanyuan could not help but feel a little resistant.
“I don’t want to eat porridge anymore.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the plain porridge with some resistance.
“Be good. The doctor said to eat something light to nourish your stomach. You haven’t eaten in a long time.” Jun Shiling scooped a mouthful of porridge and brought it to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth.
Under Jun Shiling’s encouraging gaze, Xia Wanyuan took a sip. As expected, it still tasted the same. Xia Wanyuan didn’t want to take a second sip no matter what.
Xia Wanyuan bit her lip and pulled Jun Shiling’s sleeve. “Can I not eat this? It’s tasteless.”
“No, you haven’t recovered.” Jun Shiling felt that what Xia Wanyuan was pulling was not her sleeve, but his heart.
However, thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s health, Jun Shiling steeled his heart and rejected her request.
Just as Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan, she knew Jun Shiling’s bottom line too well.
Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to step forward and wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling’s waist. She looked up, her eyes shining. “That tastes so dull. I can’t eat it anymore. Can you change it?”
Jun Shiling’s hand that was holding the spoon trembled. “You…”
“Okay?” Xia Wanyuan asked again. She even leaned over and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek.
With this, Jun Shiling’s already fragile bottom line of principles in front of Xia Wanyuan completely collapsed.
“Where did you learn these tricks?” Jun Shiling put the bowl and spoon aside, gritted his teeth, and hugged Xia Wanyuan fiercely.
“Then can you change it for me?” A smile flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.
“You’re the ancestor. Can I not change it for you?” Jun Shiling gritted his teeth and kissed Xia Wanyuan heavily on the cheek. Then, he got out of bed and personally arranged food for Xia Wanyuan.
Chapter 338: Call Me Brother and I’ll Give It to You, Hehe
In the end, it was still the chef that Jun Shiling had brought from Beijing who completed the “healthy, but not bland and tasteless” request that Jun Shiling had given him.
Before sending it to Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling still asked the doctor about her condition. The doctor did not object and only said to eat as little as possible.
Finally tasting the meat and savory flavor, Xia Wanyuan felt as if her taste buds had been reborn.
After being trapped in the cave for so long, she felt that she could barely taste the food anymore. The two days of porridge made her feel like she had nothing to live for anymore. Now that she had finally eaten food other than porridge, Xia Wanyuan was in an extremely good mood.
Even though Xia Wanyuan had recovered her strength, Jun Shiling insisted on feeding her. Seeing that Jun Shiling had satisfied her lunch request, Xia Wanyuan did not resist and allowed Jun Shiling to feed her.
Jun Shiling scooped a second spoonful into his hand. He was amused when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s expectant expression, as if she was waiting to be fed.
“Is it delicious?” Jun Shiling asked.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. Her clean little face had a satisfied smile, looking very obedient.
“Call me ‘Brother’ and I’ll give you a second bite.” Xia Wanyuan usually had a cold look on her face and did not look very obedient. Hence, every time Xia Wanyuan showed her obedience, Jun Shiling could not help but want to bully her.
?????
Xia Wanyuan was silent.
“Are you going to call me that or not?” Jun Shiling held back his smile and waved the fragrant spoonful of food in front of Xia Wanyuan.
……..
Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling and suddenly pursed her lips. She lowered her eyes. “I saw that when people first get together in television dramas, the men always agreed to whatever the girls asked for. But you, you abused me from the beginning.”
Jun Shiling didn’t expect Xia Wanyuan to say this and was stunned. “When did I abuse you?”
“I’m hungry. You’re letting me eat.” Xia Wanyuan lowered her voice. She shrank into the hospital gown, looking a little pitiful.
Even though he knew that Xia Wanyuan was acting for him, Jun Shiling’s heart still trembled. He felt his heart ache. “Okay, okay, okay. You don’t have to call anymore. Eat, eat. I really can’t do anything to you.”
Only then did Xia Wanyuan look up. As expected, there was no grievance in her eyes, but a bright smile.
Jun Shiling helplessly picked up spoonfuls of rice and fed Xia Wanyuan.
After the meal, Jun Shiling peeled an apple by the side. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the bed and looked at Jun Shiling, who was sitting beside her with his head lowered. He patiently swirled the apple skin down, then cut it into small pieces and placed them on a plate. He picked them up with a stick and brought them to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth.
Xia Wanyuan bit down on it sweetly.
There was still a pile of things waiting for Jun Shiling’s instructions outside. After taking care of Xia Wanyuan, he ate the apple and accompanied her to digest the food for an hour. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan lie down. “Sleep for a while. I’m going out to settle something. I’ll be back later.”
Seeing Jun Shiling tidying the blanket confidently, Xia Wanyuan suddenly reached out and waved at Jun Shiling.
“What’s the matter?”
“I need to talk to you.”
Jun Shiling leaned over to Xia Wanyuan, who tilted her head and leaned into Jun Shiling’s ear. Her smiling voice sounded. “Thank you, Brother.”
Jun Shiling suddenly turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with shy and smiling eyes.
Chapter 339: You Should Die for Hurting Her
“You’re really…” Jun Shiling sighed helplessly and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face very gently. “I’ll go to work first. Sleep for a while.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. As she lay under the blanket, her cold eyes softened in front of Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair comfortingly, kissed her on the forehead, and left the ward.
Lin Jing was standing outside the door. Seeing that Jun Shiling had finally come out and seeing the gentleness on his face, waves surged in his heart, but his face was expressionless.
“The person in charge who brought Madam into the limestone cave is already in our hands. He ran out very early and someone prepared a passport for him in advance. He was about to fly abroad when we caught him at the airport.”
“Mm, has he said anything?” Thinking of how this person had put Xia Wanyuan in danger, a cold glint flashed in Jun Shiling’s eyes.
“Not yet.” Lin Jing thought that this person’s mouth was still quite hard. He could not pry it open no matter what.
“I’ll go and take a look.” Jun Shiling brought Lin Jing to the secret prison in Lin Xi City.
In the basement, the originally well-dressed person in charge had been beaten up until he was covered in injuries. However, with the best medical team by his side, no matter how badly he was beaten, the doctor could save him in the shortest time possible and keep him awake.
“Get out.” Jun Shiling sat on the chair in front of the in-charge. Lin Jing waved his hand and got the others to leave.
When the in-charge heard the commotion, he saw a very familiar and cold-looking man sitting in front of him. He thought hard for a while and remembered that this was Jun Shiling, the richest man in China.
“Tell me, who sent you?” Jun Shiling’s cold voice made the in-charge’s heart turn cold.
“Pfft, I’ve said it countless times. I was instructed by those old shareholders of Glory World Corporation to help them kill Xuan Sheng. That’s the answer no matter how you ask me.”
“What level are you under Old K? Level 6? Level 7?” Jun Shiling completely ignored the in-charge’s words and asked him, as he stared at the in-charge with his cold eyes.
The person in charge was already under tremendous pressure. Under Jun Shiling’s extremely oppressive gaze, he was stunned for a moment.
At that moment, Jun Shiling saw the respect and panic flashing across his eyes.
“Who is Old K? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The person in charge did not dare to look Jun Shiling in the eye anymore and retracted his gaze.
Jun Shiling suddenly stood up, walked to the in-charge, and stepped on the joint between his fingers.
The excruciating pain made the in-charge cry out. He could not help but look up at Jun Shiling angrily.
The gentleness that Jun Shiling had in front of Xia Wanyuan had completely disappeared, replaced by a bloodthirsty dark light.
“You shouldn’t have hurt her,” Jun Shiling said quietly.
The in-charge had received strict training. He, who had not felt any fear under countless tortures, could actually feel fear and death under Jun Shiling’s gaze.
“The scenery in Donke is not bad.” Jun Shiling suddenly changed the topic and said something unrelated, but the person in charge’s eyes suddenly widened.
“What do you mean?!” The person in charge finally sounded a little panicked.
“Nothing much. I originally wanted you to explain more.” Jun Shiling let go of the switch and glanced at the in-charge calmly. “But you injured her. You deserve to die.”
When he met Jun Shiling’s gaze, the in-charge’s heart skipped a beat.

After leaving the dungeon, Jun Shiling frowned slightly.
Why did Old K lay a hand on Xia Wanyuan? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan’s identity had been exposed?
No. Jun Shiling quickly rejected this thought.
If Xia Wanyuan’s identity was exposed, then they should capture her alive and not kill her.
But now, they actually wanted to kill Xia Wanyuan. Which meant that there was another reason. What could it be?
“Young Master, the victims in the city have been properly settled. The higher-ups have sent people to ask if the people in the surrounding military district can go back first.”
“Sure. Leave a small number of people to help. The rest can leave.”
Jun Shiling gave the order and the teams stationed in Lin Xi City began to transport outwards with Lin Xi City as the center. The entire Lin Xi City began to recover systematically.
Jun Shiling returned to the ward, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan.
“Miss Xia went to visit Mr. Xuan.” The nurse was helping Xia Wanyuan make the bed. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, she hurriedly explained to him.
Xuan Sheng?
Jun Shiling wanted to look for Xia Wanyuan, but he stopped in his tracks.
Logically speaking, he should be thanking Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan was severely dehydrated. Even the doctor said that if Xuan Sheng had not given his blood to Xia Wanyuan, she would not have lasted until they came to save her.
Although he had mixed feelings, Jun Shiling still chose to believe Xia Wanyuan.
In the ward next door, Xuan Sheng, who was well taken care of, was slowly recovering.
Xuan Sheng, who usually had a devilish look on his face, looked much more amiable than usual in his hospital gown.
“How’s your leg?” Xuan Sheng was still a little dizzy. Seeing Xia Wanyuan come over, he supported himself to sit up.
“It’s nothing serious.” The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards Xuan Sheng’s bed. “How are you?”
“Not good.” Xuan Sheng’s peach blossom-shaped eyes curved into a familiar arc. “It hurts everywhere. I need your comfort, Ms. Xia.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and said solemnly, “Thank you.”
She was unconscious at that time and did not know that Xuan Sheng had used his blood to save her. She only knew about it after Jun Shiling told her.
“Actually, I don’t want you to thank me at all.” Xia Wanyuan’s words of thanks strictly separated the two of them.
“Rest well.” Xia Wanyuan was not stupid. Even though Xuan Sheng always liked to joke and his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, she could feel Xuan Sheng’s feelings for her.
However, since she had already chosen Jun Shiling, she would not let others have hope.
“Mm.” Xuan Sheng nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan almost greedily.
The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards the door, but Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of something and gestured for the nurse to push her back.
Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the bed with his head lowered, did not expect Xia Wanyuan to come back. He looked at her in confusion.
“You’re a very good person. You don’t have to bear the consequences of other people’s mistakes.”
Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Miss Xia, you’re giving me a good person card.”
Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She had already said what she wanted to say. The nurse pushed her out the door. Behind her, Xuan Sheng stopped smiling. He quietly watched Xia Wanyuan leave and thought for a long time.
Jun Shiling waited in the ward for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan did not return.
Jun Shiling had always been strong and confident, but in front of Xia Wanyuan, all his defenses were useless.
Finally, as his heart sank, the door to the ward opened. Xia Wanyuan was pushed in by the nurse, and Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over.
“Are you done?”
“Mm, I’m done. I came back to have dinner with you.” After dismissing the nurse, Jun Shiling carefully picked Xia Wanyuan up and placed her on the bed.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I just went to see Xuan Sheng.”
“I know.” Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan adjust the blanket.
“He’s recovering well.”
“I’ve arranged for a specialized doctor to take care of him. He’ll get better.” After tucking in the blanket, Jun Shiling sat by the bed and held Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
Xia Wanyuan found it a little strange. In the past, when an innocent Wei Zimu called her sister, Jun Shiling would always tease her with the word “brother”. Why did Jun Shiling look so magnanimous now that it was Xuan Sheng who was really entangled with her?
Xia Wanyuan thought of something and asked directly.
Jun Shiling smiled. “I’m very grateful to him. Besides, I believe in you.”
In the past, most of the time, he had only done it to tease Xia Wanyuan. He was not really angry.
Regarding Xuan Sheng, how could he not see Xuan Sheng’s feelings for Xia Wanyuan? That day, when the passageway was opened, the scene of blood on the ground shocked him for a moment. If not for Xuan Sheng, he might have lost Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he was grateful to Xuan Sheng.
And most importantly, he was willing to believe Xia Wanyuan.
Jun Shiling’s answer was expected. Xia Wanyuan stretched. “I want to eat an apple.”
“Okay, I’ll peel it for you.”
Jun Shiling held a small knife and quietly peeled the skin by the bed.
“How many people know about me in Lin Xi City?”
“Your manager and grandfather. No one else knows.”
Afraid that Xiao Bao would be sad, the old master was anxious after knowing that Xia Wanyuan was buried in the mountains. However, in front of Xiao Bao, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
As for the news from the outside world, unless Jun Shiling allowed it, no one could report the situation in Lin Xi City.
“Then when are we going back to Beijing? My injury isn’t that serious either.”
“Tomorrow morning.” In the end, it was still not as convenient as in Beijing. Xia Wanyuan’s leg injury had recovered pretty well. The doctor had also said that it would not be a problem to escort her on the way.
After taking care of Xia Wanyuan for dinner, Jun Shiling got onto the bed and sat beside her. He chatted with her for a while and told her bedtime stories. Only after coaxing her to sleep did Jun Shiling gently get off the bed and go to the room next door.
“How’s Sister-in-law’s condition?” Bo Xiao finally contacted Jun Shiling. He wanted to burn three incense sticks for God.
“Her body is recovering,” Jun Shiling replied. He frowned when he saw the background behind Bo Xiao. “You’re not in the command center?”
“My Great Master Jun, do you think I can suppress that group of people after you leave? Without you there to suppress them, I think they can even fight in the meeting room. I discussed with the others and dismissed the meeting first. I’m in Lie Dun now, and the Poison Scorpion Laboratory is probably here.”
It was not easy for him to contact Jun Shiling. Bo Xiao wished he could pour out all his words.
“Go back to Beijing first. There’s a problem with the Bo family, so don’t worry about Lie Dun for the time being.”
“Sure.”
