Chapter 346: Double Standard Master Jun
Xiao Bao’s attempt to hug Xia Wanyuan had failed again. He looked angrily at Jun Shiling.
“Daddy, you’re too much!!! Why don’t you let me hug Mommy?!”
“There’s a wound on her leg. Don’t touch it and hurt her.” Jun Shiling glanced at the little dumpling mercilessly, then picked him up and sat him on his lap.
Xiao Bao twisted his body. “I don’t want you to hug me. You don’t even smell good. I want Mommy.”
However, Xiao Bao’s struggles were useless in Jun Shiling’s steel-like arm. Xiao Bao had clearly noticed it too, so he stopped struggling and sat on Jun Shiling’s lap, looking at Xia Wanyuan pitifully.
“Mommy, please hug me…”
Seeing Xiao Bao’s pitiful look, Xia Wanyuan laughed. She reached out to pinch Xiao Bao’s chubby little face and reached out her arm to him.
“What are you hugging? Sit properly and wait for your health to recover.”
Xiao Bao was about to run into Xia Wanyuan’s arms when he heard Jun Shiling’s devilish voice behind him.
“Hmph! Daddy, you have double standards! You even hugged Mommy this morning! I saw it! You even kissed her!”
Xia Wanyuan’s outstretched arm paused. For a moment, she was not sure if she should be surprised by Xiao Bao’s strong vocabulary. Did he even know the word ‘double standard’? Or should she slap her forehead, for Xiao Bao to actually see an inappropriate scene for children.
Jun Shiling glanced at his son calmly, and Xiao Bao’s arrogance disappeared.
“Come here, I’ll hug you too.” Xia Wanyuan reached out to Xiao Bao, who carefully crawled into her arms.
“Mommy, you’re the best.” Xiao Bao kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek, then looked at Jun Shiling provocatively. “We’re even.”
Jun Shiling: Sooner or later, I will have to give up quality education.
Although Xiao Bao was mischievous, he was very sensible. Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was injured, he stayed in her arms for a while before coming out.
“It’s time to study,” Jun Shiling reminded Xiao Bao.
“Oh,” Xiao Bao replied obediently, then turned to remind Xia Wanyuan, “Mommy, you have to recuperate well. Only then can you give me a little sister early.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan subconsciously looked at Jun.
The nanny brought Xiao Bao to the study room, where a specialized teacher was waiting.
“I’m going upstairs.” Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling, who walked over and picked her up.
Xia Wanyuan found Jun Shiling’s serious and careful expression funny.
Back then, he had teased her all sorts of times. Now, he knew that he did not dare to tease her anymore.
After placing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Jun Shiling was about to leave when Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around his neck.
“…….”
Here it comes again. A helpless smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes.
Over the past two days, Xia Wanyuan had relied on the fact that her leg was injured. It was as if she wanted to get back at him for teasing her until her face was red. She would tease him whenever she wanted.
However, she had a wound on her leg, so Jun Shiling did not dare to do anything to her and could only let her do whatever she wanted.
“Where are you going, CEO Jun?”
“Going to the Zheng family.”
Zheng family? Xia Wanyuan remembered that Zheng Fei was from the Zheng family.
As if knowing what Xia Wanyuan was thinking, Jun Shiling spoke first. “The Zheng family is getting restless next year. I’ll be back after a trip. Don’t mention that woman anymore. I’ve never cared about her.”
“I didn’t mention it. You brought it up yourself.”
“Alright, it’s my fault.” Jun Shiling’s tone was indulgent as he kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead. “Be good and sleep. I’ll be back tonight.”
Only then did Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling tucked Xia Wanyuan in and turned to leave.
At the entrance of the Zheng family, Jun Shiling finally arrived. The servant hurriedly went to inform him.
Bo Xiao, who had returned to China, followed Jun Shiling into the hall of the Zheng family.
The originally lively hall fell silent when the cold figure appeared at the door.
Jun Shiling glanced around calmly. The people in the hall felt as if they had been seen through, and a chill arose in their hearts.
Chapter 347: Someone Will Always be Courting Death
“Brother Shiling, you’re here!”
Zheng Fei’s eyes lit up when she saw the beautiful Jun Shiling.
Zheng Fei, who had dressed up meticulously, floated in front of Jun Shiling like a butterfly.
“Commissioner Zheng’s daughter, you’re really well-mannered.” Jun Shiling’s cold voice sounded. He stared ahead and did not look at Zheng Fei.
Seeing Jun Shiling’s unhappy gaze, Zheng Weiye immediately scolded Zheng Fei. “Feifei, stand down.”
“Brother Shiling.” Zheng Fei’s aggrieved voice sounded, and tears welled up in her eyes.
That time when Jun Shiling sent her to the police station, she took quite a while to come out.
She had been pampered wherever she went since she was young and had never suffered such grievances. However, her mother kept telling her how outstanding Jun Shiling was and even said that she had already checked that Jun Shiling was not married at all, so she could chase after him without worry. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling was so unromantic?
“My Jun family’s generation is a single child. We don’t have any younger sisters. Commissioner Zheng, no matter how busy you are usually, don’t delay your children’s education.”
Everyone present could understand the meaning in Jun Shiling’s words. The people from Zheng Fei’s faction could not help but feel embarrassed, but the people from the other branches were laughing at Zheng Fei in their hearts. Sensing everyone’s mocking gazes, Zheng Fei lost her face and ran out of the hall while sobbing.
Jun Shiling walked forward and naturally sat at the main seat in the hall.
Some juniors of the Zheng family were shocked to see Jun Shiling sitting in the middle.
He was just a rich businessman. Where did he get the confidence to sit on the throne in front of so many high officials?
“Hello, CEO Jun. My name is Zheng Yun. I’ve long heard of your great name, CEO Jun. I’ve always heard that you’re an outstanding talent among young people. Seeing you today, I see that it’s true. My sister is insensible, but CEO Jun, you’re a few years older than her. There’s no need to bicker with her.”
Zheng Yun was the most impatient person in the Zheng family’s younger generation. He was furious when he saw his usually pampered little sister being humiliated in public by Jun Shiling.
Children like them who had grown up in the whirlpool of power did not think that rich businessmen were scary at all.
What Zheng Yun said to Jun Shiling seemed to be a compliment, but in fact, he was saying, “You’re not much older than Zheng Fei, but you’re arguing with her in public. It’s really shameless.”
Everyone present, including the younger generation, had grown up in the vortex of power. How could they not understand what Zheng Yun meant?
“Yun’er! What nonsense are you talking about!” Zheng Weiye was the head of the family after all. Although he had not figured out Jun Shiling’s background, Jun Shiling was not someone the younger generation of the Zheng family could tolerate.
The father and son of the Zheng family echoed each other, but Jun Shiling did not say a word. He only drank a mouthful of tea quietly.
Zheng Weiye looked at him for a long time but could not tell what Jun Shiling was thinking.
“CEO Jun?” Zheng Weiye could not help but ask.
“The tea is not bad.” After a while, Jun Shiling suddenly said something baffling.
Then, he stood up and left.
Everyone in the Zheng family was stunned. What was going on?! What did Jun Shiling mean?
Jun Shiling, who was striding out, already knew the situation of the Zheng family.
It seemed that he had still overestimated the Zheng family. Someone who had just stepped into the power center and did not know his own worth was not worth him coming here personally.
However, he had just seen a useful talent.
“Bo Xiao, get someone to contact the person in the corner who was wearing a T-shirt just now.”
“Sure.”
When Zheng Yun saw Jun Shiling’s arrogant look, he almost rolled up his sleeves and chased after him. It was Zheng Weiye who scolded him.
“F*ck, you just have a few dollars. When the time comes, I’ll find an excuse to seal a few properties for you. Let’s see how arrogant you can be.”
Zheng Yun, who was filled with anger, walked into the flickering private room where many people were gathered. His friends were already waiting inside.
“Hey, who dares to make our Little Master Zheng angry?”
“Annoying. Go away.” Zheng Yun waved his hand.
“Don’t be angry. Young Master Zheng, I’ll find you a few beauties to liven things up.”
“No, it’s boring.” His friends often found beautiful female celebrities from the entertainment industry to accompany them.
At first, it was quite novel, but later on, it felt meaningless.
“Don’t. I guarantee the quality is good this time. I’ve already gotten someone to do it. I’ll send you in this Saturday. Look at the video.”
Zheng Yun took the video and his eyes lit up. This cold and aloof flower was his favorite. “Not bad this time. Leave the promotion to me.”
Chapter 348: You’re Good, You’re Good too
Zheng Yun held the phone and looked at it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the woman on it was good-looking.
“Where did you get this?”
When his friend saw Zheng Yun’s expression, he knew that he was very satisfied. “She’s a little celebrity who has been quite popular in the entertainment industry recently. It was someone who introduced her to me. Tsk, you didn’t see it. She recently acted in a country movie and looked like that in a cheongsam. She’s really attractive.”
“Alright, alright. Get this done for me. Leave your matters to me.”
“Okay, Young Master Zheng, have a sip.”
“Come!!”
The wine glasses clinked, reflecting a scene of lust.
——
The online dissatisfaction with Xia Wanyuan’s unprofessional behavior was still fermenting.
Tang Yin and Chen Yun studied it for a while and finally decided to hold back.
In any case, Xia Wanyuan was not really unprofessional. She had a wound on her leg and acted legitimately. After everyone vented their anger, they would come and clarify. The netizens would be more rational.
After Jun Shiling left the Zheng family’s house, he originally wanted to return to the manor directly, but he had not been to the company for more than a week. Although Lin Jing had always supported him, there were many important matters that needed Jun Shiling to decide personally.
Jun Shiling got someone to send a message to the manor and then went to the company. Once he went, he was surrounded by various managers in the office.
By the time Jun Shiling signed all the documents on the table, he looked up and saw that the time was already eight o’clock.
Jun Shiling’s expression turned a little cold. Unknowingly, it was already so late. Ever since Xia Wanyuan moved into the manor, he had basically gone home to eat with Xia Wanyuan after work at six o’clock. Jun Shiling hurriedly rushed back to the manor.
“Young Master, Madam hasn’t eaten today.” Uncle Wang finally saw Jun Shiling return and greeted him.
“Bring the food into the bedroom.” Jun Shiling took off his suit and loosened his tie as he walked upstairs.
He pushed open the door and saw Xia Wanyuan sitting on the bed, watching television.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Jun Shiling walked over and wanted to kiss Xia Wanyuan’s forehead, but Xia Wanyuan blocked him.
“Have you eaten?” Xia Wanyuan asked.
Jun Shiling was stunned. “There was too much to do, so I didn’t have time to eat.”
“Oh.” She knew that Jun Shiling would definitely not eat properly when he was busy. “If you don’t eat, I won’t either. Next time…”
Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already leaned closer to her lips. “You care about me.”
Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion. Shouldn’t I be concerned about him?
Jun Shiling looked extremely happy.
Even though both his businesses were far beyond those of ordinary people, in the end, he was still a man who had just entered a relationship. He would be happy for Xia Wanyuan’s little concern and secretly delighted when he sensed her concern for him.
“Come, let’s eat.” Jun Shiling handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan, then picked up some food for her.
Other than Jun Shiling, no one realized that although Xia Wanyuan ate everything and did not look picky, she had various small preferences.
She could eat garlic, but she liked the ones in cold dishes and not stir-fried dishes.
She liked to eat fish. When they made braised fish, she liked to eat the stomach of the fish. When they made steamed fish, she liked to eat the part where the head of the fish and the body of the fish were connected.
She didn’t like soup, but she liked the especially soft bones that were stewed in the soup.
……
Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan pick her favorite dishes seriously.
Xia Wanyuan watched quietly from the side.
After a busy day, Jun Shiling looked a little tired. However, his quiet picking of the fish bones under the light had left a deep impression on Xia Wanyuan.
“Jun Shiling, you’re the best.”
Chapter 349: King
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling looked up with a smile in his eyes. “You only think I’m good now?”
“No.” Xia Wanyuan shook her head honestly. “I used to think that you were pretty good, but now I feel that you’re better than I thought.”
Xia Wanyuan was telling the truth. In fact, many of her little habits were unknown even to her younger siblings who had lived together for many years.
However, she had only lived with Jun Shiling for two months, but Jun Shiling seemed to know everything about her. Not only did he arrange everything appropriately, but he also pampered her every moment.
She used to be the princess of a country and enjoyed all the glory and love.
She was also once the commander of the three armies, receiving the embrace of thousands of troops.
She was once the Eldest Princess who listened to the government and bowed to the world.
However, Jun Shiling’s care and love were different from others.
Xia Wanyuan was a person who rarely praised others and never exaggerated. Hence, when she praised someone, it made people especially happy.
]Jun Shiling smiled gently and leaned towards Xia Wanyuan.
This time, Xia Wanyuan did not stop him. The two of them leaned against each other and exchanged a long and gentle kiss.
“You’re good too.” Jun Shiling took half a step back and placed the bowl and chopsticks back in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Eat quickly. It’s going to get cold later.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and continued eating.
Xiao Bao finally finished all his homework and was washed clean by the nanny. When he ran in, he saw Xia Wanyuan lying in Jun Shiling’s arms.
“Daddy, you’re hugging Mommy secretly again!” Xiao Bao had just taken a shower, and his face was as red as a fresh little apple. A bunch of little hair stood on his head.
“It’s time for you to sleep.” Jun Shiling ignored Xiao Bao’s accusing gaze.
“Hmph!” Xiao Bao climbed up from the end of the bed and carefully avoided Xia Wanyuan’s injured leg, then nestled between Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling: …
Because Xia Wanyuan had a leg injury, Jun Shiling didn’t want Xiao Bao to sleep with her. He was afraid that Xiao Bao would kick her wound when he slept at night.
“Daddy, can’t you sleep in the middle? I promise I’ll sleep obediently. I’m afraid of the little monster. I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy!!” Xiao Bao suggested a genius idea.
Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan, then at Xiao Bao, whose eyes were filled with longing. In the end, he agreed.
The light gradually dimmed, and Xiao Bao curled up on Jun Shiling’s left. His sleep quality was good, so he fell into a deep sleep the moment he touched the pillow, the smell of milk lingering.
Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s arm and was not sleepy for a moment. Her fingers unconsciously stroked Jun Shiling’s arm.
It was only when Jun Shiling’s arm tightened that he finally could not help but turn around and grab Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Did you do it on purpose?”
Xia Wanyuan smiled. “On purpose?”
“If you didn’t have a leg injury now” Worried that he would wake Xiao Bao up, Jun Shiling lowered his voice. He was only halfway through his sentence, but both of them knew what he was going to say next.
Xia Wanyuan stopped talking. Without looking, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan must be blushing again.
Jun Shiling snorted lightly. She always flirted with him recklessly and was not responsible after teasing him.
“I’m tired. Goodnight.” Xia Wanyuan yawned and leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder. Jun Shiling had no choice but to let go of Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling. There was an indescribable satisfaction in Jun Shiling’s heart. Soon, he fell asleep, and a beautiful dream enveloped the family hugging on the bed.
——
“King, our laboratory has been removed.”
In the City That Never Sleeps, Jayce reported the situation to the man in the seat fearfully.
“Not bad.” A lazy voice sounded.
Jayce immediately knelt on the ground. He was considered the second-in-command, but he had always been treading on thin ice.
Jayce’s first impression of the man on the high seat was that he was weak. His second impression was that he was clean and elegant. However, after he saw his boss skin Old K alive, he did not dare to speak loudly in front of this man anymore.
Yes, Old K, who had a notorious reputation back then, was still the Old K with the highest bounty on the wanted website. In fact, he had died ten years ago, at the hands of the child he had raised himself.
The little boy who had been gentle since he was young and was so elegant that he did not seem like he belonged in this world had killed someone on Old K’s 50th birthday in public.
And those who were supposed to protect Old K had unknowingly fallen for this child.
This change that should have shocked the entire underground kingdom was actually smooth without any obstruction. The outsiders didn’t even know that Old K was already dead.
The outsiders still called this new commander Old K, while Jayce and the rest called him King.
“Since the laboratory is gone, what’s the point of leaving you around?” As if he did not care that Jayce was an old man who had followed him for ten years, there was no fluctuation in the man’s tone.
“King, listen to me. This time, it’s not just Continent F’s alliance. If it was just them, we would have transferred the laboratory long ago. This time, there’s also the movement of Zeus.”
Speaking of which, it was strange. This legendary Zeus had disappeared from the world for four years. They had searched for so long but had yet to find any news of him. This time, this person actually sacrificed himself in Continent F.
“Zeus?” Only then did the man’s tone change. There was even a hint of a cold smile.
“Yes, on the night of the 27th, the Hurricane that Zeus rode passed through many countries and entered China,” Jayce replied respectfully.
“It’s China again. This China is really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Alright, keep your life for now. Go and investigate Xia Wanyuan.”
A beautiful face suddenly appeared on the screen. Jayce was stunned.
“Are you investigating this woman?” Jayce couldn’t help but ask. ‘Did King put in the wrong photo?’
“Mm,” the lazy voice replied.
Jayce’s heart trembled. What kind of identity could make King personally order an investigation?
Could she be a spy who had infiltrated the higher-ups of the magnesium country? Or was she some unknown drug lord? Or was she a political figure?
Oh my, it was this person. She is too good-looking, especially her snow-white eyes that looked straight into one’s heart.
“Okay.” Jayce received the order and went to gather all kinds of people.
However, after he informed almost all the secret agents in the world, he realized that information about this person could be seen everywhere on the Internet.
An entertainment industry celebrity??
Jayce was a little confused, but when he wanted to investigate further, he realized that Xia Wanyuan’s whereabouts in the past few years had been blank outside of public events.
Chapter 350: Bo Xiao Saves Xia Yu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, when Jun Shiling arrived at the office, he saw Bo Xiao sitting inside waiting for him.
“Is there any movement?”
“There’s no movement, but Old K can still maintain his composure. The laboratory has already been taken care of, but it’s actually so calm.” Bo Xiao was holding soy milk in one hand and a bun in the other, stuffing them into his mouth. “But I received news that Old K’s subordinates are investigating Sister-in-law. Has the news of your marriage been leaked?”
Upon hearing Bo Xiao’s words, Jun Shiling’s gaze darkened. “No, there are other reasons. I haven’t thought of them yet.”
“Alright, I’ll get someone to secretly keep an eye on Sister-in-law’s safety.” Bo Xiao threw the last bun into his mouth. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to the airport. I’m going to the northwest.”
“Northwest?” Jun Shiling thought of Xia Wanyuan’s words. “Go to X military district while you’re at it. Xia Wanyuan’s younger brother is training there. Go and see if there’s anything wrong with him.”
“Sister-in-law’s younger brother?” Bo Xiao recalled the young broadcaster who had arrogantly killed Ruan Nian until he quit the game when he was watching the live broadcast. A smile flashed across his fox-like eyes. “Alright, I’ll go and take a look.”
——
In the vast northwest desert, there was endless yellow sand. The sunlight shone on the sand, reflecting a golden light. Not far away, a black dot was moving slowly.
There was a lot of sand in the northwest that needed patches of sand forest to resist. When the number of people building the forest was insufficient, the military district would send some people to help build the forest after the training mission was completed.
It happened to be the turn of this batch of new recruits to help today, so Wang Hui led them for the entire morning.
Of course, Wang Hui only guided them by the side for a while and it was soon noon.
“Alright, everyone, you’ve worked hard. Go back and have lunch first.” Wang Hui looked at the time and called for the others to get into the car and return to the military base. Only Xia Yu was left behind. “Xia Yu, why did you plant it in this manner? Since it’s done like this, you’re not allowed to eat lunch and water this area!”
Xia Yu looked at the large patch of trees in front of him. He wouldn’t be able to finish watering them until late at night, and they had training in the afternoon.
“If you want to water it, do it yourself.” Xia Yu threw away the bucket and walked to the side.
“Don’t you want your graduation certificate?” Wang Hui was unhappy when he saw Xia Yu’s resistance and shouted at him.
“I don’t want it anymore.”
“Stop!” Seeing that this threat was useless, Wang Hui took a few steps forward and wanted to grab Xia Yu. However, Xia Yu turned around and kicked Wang Hui.
This kick was filled with grievance and anger from the past few days. Even someone as experienced as Wang Hui felt a fishy smell surge up his chest.
Wang Hui reacted and pressed Xia Yu to the ground with a punch. “Rascal, I’ll beat you to death today!”
Although Xia Yu did not have much combat skills, he was young and reckless. After fighting Wang Hui for a long time, the others, who had already left, finally realized that something was wrong. They drove the car back and pulled the two of them away.
Wang Hui had been in the military for a long time, so the leader naturally believed him more. In addition, no one was present at the scene and no one testified for Xia Yu, so Xia Yu was locked up tight.
“Pfft, hiss.” Wang Hui’s face was swollen from Xia Yu’s slap. He shouted at the soldier beside him, “If I don’t kill you this time, you’re not allowed to feed him!”
At that moment, someone came to report. “A leader is here for an inspection in Beijing. The battalion commander wants you to go over.”
Big Leader?
Wang Hui hurriedly adjusted his clothes and followed her out.
