In the manor, after finally sending the guest away, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Baby, was this the child who proposed to you in public last time?”

“…” Xia Wanyuan glanced at him. “How do you know everything?”

Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand and led her upstairs. “Does the brooch he gave you look good?”

“…” Xia Wanyuan was helpless. “He’s just a twelve-year-old child. Why are you jealous of him?”

After entering the room, Jun Shiling picked Xia Wanyuan up and placed her on the bed. He did not leave. He supported himself above Xia Wanyuan and began to settle scores.

“You didn’t have lunch with me today.”

“Mm, then I made dinner and waited for you at home to apologize to you.” Jun Shiling’s tie hung by Xia Wanyuan’s collarbone. Xia Wanyuan felt a little itchy and tugged at his tie, not noticing Jun Shiling’s suddenly deep gaze.

“Don’t talk about it. The dinner all went into that child’s stomach. I only ate a little.”

“Then I’ll make another bowl of noodles for you?” Xia Wanyuan said and wanted to get up, but Jun Shiling pressed her back. Xia Wanyuan pushed him helplessly. “Move a little.”

Jun Shiling lowered his head and touched the tip of Xia Wanyuan’s nose. The faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan lingered around him. “I don’t want to eat noodles. I want to eat you.”

“No, you always take so long.” Xia Wanyuan tilted her head to the side. Jun Shiling’s dominance was vividly displayed at certain moments, and Xia Wanyuan could not resist at all.

“I’ve already booked a place to eat for lunch. I was looking forward to eating with you and even bought you a small cake.” Jun Shiling’s tone was a little bitter, making Xia Wanyuan unable to bear it.

“I wasn’t full at night as well.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s expression begin to loosen, Jun Shiling continued.

Xia Wanyuan finally turned around again. Jun Shiling’s slender hands tugged at his tie. His joints were well-defined, and his Adam’s apple under his collar bobbed slightly.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Xia Wanyuan was indeed charmed by Jun Shiling. She closed her eyes as if she had accepted her fate. “I’ll compensate you, okay?”

Jun Shiling smiled smugly, took off his tie, and gently tied Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

Xia Wanyuan suddenly opened her eyes. “You…”

Jun Shiling leaned over and sealed her mouth. “You said you wanted to compensate me.”

When Xia Wanyuan realized that she had been tricked by Jun Shiling again, it was already midnight.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Xia Wanyuan almost collapsed under the blanket. Her voice was slightly hoarse. “CEO Jun, you’ve changed.”

Jun Shiling hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheek. “How did I change?”

“You didn’t mess around like this in the past.” Xia Wanyuan felt her face heat up just thinking about it. She wondered where Jun Shiling had learned those tricks.

Jun Shiling chuckled and hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. “I won’t torture you anymore. Go to sleep.”

Initially, Xia Wanyuan was very sleepy, but now, she was not. She turned around and rested her head on Jun Shiling’s arm.

There was a warm temperature in the blanket mixed with a hint of fragrance.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan felt very relieved. Her eyes curved into crescents. “CEO Jun, you’re so good-looking.”

Jun Shiling wrapped his hand around her waist, and a warm glint flashed across his eyes. “If you don’t want to sleep, I’ll chat with you for a while. Or do you want to hear me tell you a story?”

“Let’s chat. Tell me about the Cape family. You’re quite polite to An Lin.” A family that could be treated politely by Jun Shiling must be extraordinary.

It was silent and the bedroom was warm. Xia Wanyuan nestled in Jun Shiling’s arms and closed her eyes to listen to him analyze the situation in Continent O. From time to time, she would ask some questions.

After some time, the breathing of the person in his arms gradually calmed down. Only then did Jun Shiling stop talking and reach out to switch off the light.

No matter how they covered it, there were always some people secretly contacting the media to sell information related to Xia Wanyuan.

A few photos of Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran acting leaked out. Even the news of An Rao visiting the production team was spread by some marketing accounts.

In the photo, Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were equally pure. An Rao, who was sitting at the side, looked indignant and very angry.

[ Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran are both big shots celebrities. Their family backgrounds are very similar. Such people should become very good friends. ]

[ It’s obvious that the two of them can become good friends. Su Yueran’s personality is also very good, unlike An Rao. I feel that other than her face, she has nothing else. I really don’t understand why Xia Wanyuan would be friends with her. Furthermore, I usually see An Rao leaning towards Xia Wanyuan. I don’t know if I should say something. ]

[The person in front, let me say it for you. Do you also suspect that An Rao is hugging someone powerful? After all, An Rao has mentioned Xia Wanyuan many times on Weibo, but Xia Wanyuan rarely responds.]

These inexplicable guesses almost angered An Rao’s fans to death. [So if Xia Wanyuan doesn’t respond to An Rao on Weibo, An Rao is hugging her thigh? How do you know she didn’t contact her in private? Did she call you to tell you?]

No matter what An Rao’s fans said, there were more and more comments about An Rao and Xia Wanyuan’s relationship. The netizens unilaterally determined that Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran should be good friends.

As for An Rao, she was purely chasing after Xia Wanyuan to hug her thigh.

An Rao was originally eating sour plums at home, but when she saw these comments on Weibo, she was so angry that she could not even eat sour plums.

She posted a Weibo post.

@ An Rao: “???”

Soon, An Rao’s response entered the trending list. A large number of onlookers surged in. The most liked comment made An Rao even angrier.

[When I watched the variety show back then, I could tell that An Rao was constantly leaning towards Xia Wanyuan. That’s why Xia Wanyuan didn’t reject her. No matter how I look at it, Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan seem to be the same kind of people, unlike this An Rao. No matter how I look at it, I feel that the two of them don’t match.]

Coincidentally, Bo Xiao called. Hearing An Rao’s angry voice, Bo Xiao smiled. “What’s wrong? Who made you angry?”

An Rao sounded strangely disappointed. “Bo Xiao, do I look very incompatible with Yuan Yuan? Did she become friends with me because she didn’t want to reject me?”

When An Rao was unhappy, her voice was low. Even if he could not see her, Bo Xiao could imagine her hugging her legs, lowering her eyes, and looking aggrieved. Usually, at this time, Bo Xiao would pat her head.

But now, Bo Xiao could only comfort her in a gentle voice. “Do you think others can force Xia Wanyuan?”

Xia Wanyuan was not someone who would not reject others. Those she did not want to talk to or befriend, she would not even look at them.

An Rao was convinced by Bo Xiao’s words. “What you said makes sense. When are you coming back?”
