Jun Shiling answered very seriously. He was really considering the question Xia Wanyuan had asked.

However, it was this seriousness that delighted Xia Wanyuan.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you be a fatuous ruler.” Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder with curved eyes. When Jun Shiling lowered his head, he saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with sparkling eyes.

“It’s okay. If it’s you, it doesn’t matter if you’re a fatuous ruler. I never said that I was a good person. I am only a good person when you are.”

Jun Shiling had always been gentle in front of Xia Wanyuan, but to be able to grow to become the head of the Jun Corporation, or even a man standing behind China, his heart was wandering between black and white, and the control point of this boundary was with Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan smiled and closed her eyes. In the beginning, she had chosen Jun Shiling because she felt that he was comfortable enough with her. Then, as days passed, she had liked him more and more.

“Are you waiting for me to kiss you?” Seeing Xia Wanyuan so delicate, a smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. The sunlight shone on her face, and her entire face seemed to be shining.

“I won’t.” Jun Shiling deliberately teased her.

As expected, Xia Wanyuan frowned and even revealed a look of grievance. However, in the next second, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and pecked Jun Shiling’s face.

Jun Shiling loved Xia Wanyuan to death, and his deep eyes were filled with love.

The branch of a sycamore tree beside him reached Jun Shiling’s waist. Jun Shiling took the opportunity to carry Xia Wanyuan and sit on it.

“Good girl, hug me,” Jun Shiling said as he pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand around his waist. With his other hand, he raised Xia Wanyuan’s chin and kissed the red he had been longing for.

The sunlight shone through the leaves and secretly looked at the two of them hugging under the sycamore tree.

A gentle autumn, a gentle person, a gentle world.

——

Xia Wanyuan’s class at Qing University was literature. Just as she entered the classroom, she saw An Lin, who was talking to Yu Qian shyly.

Xia Wanyuan couldn’t see through Yu Qian. She didn’t believe that Yu Qian had really fallen for An Lin, but was there anything on An Lin that was worth him using?

The chaotic thoughts only lasted for a moment. Xia Wanyuan immediately retracted her gaze and focused on the classroom.

The students were basically Xia Wanyuan’s fans and knew that she had just obtained the qualification to join the International Painter Association.

“Professor Xia, how did you paint Chinese paintings and oil paintings so well?”

“Teacher Xia, I like you so much. Your acting is so good too.”

The students pestered Xia Wanyuan non-stop, asking questions. Xia Wanyuan was not tired of being disturbed.

Yu Qian sat in the last row and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was patiently chatting with the students. A strange light flashed across his eyes.

Xia Wanyuan, this woman, made him feel a little strange. She clearly looked aloof and untouchable, but when facing students, she made people feel very gentle even from afar.

“Senior, are you close to Teacher Xia?” Seeing Yu Qian staring at Xia Wanyuan, An Lin was a little flustered.

Even though she had always thought highly of herself, she had to admit that very few men could resist a woman like Xia Wanyuan.

“She’s a distant relative of mine. We’re not very close.” Yu Qian’s eyes were cold when An Lin interrupted his thoughts, but his voice was still very gentle.

“Oh.” An Lin was relieved that it was a relative. She wanted to take the opportunity to speak to Yu Qian more, but Yu Qian placed his index finger by his mouth. “Listen carefully.”

An Lin nodded and did not probe further.

After class, An Lin and Yu Qian walked to the school gate together, only to bump into Xia Wanyuan, who had also left the school.

“An Lin,” Xia Wanyuan called out. An Lin hurriedly greeted Xia Wanyuan.

Glancing at the bag in An Lin’s hand that was worth nearly four hundred thousand dollars, Xia Wanyuan finally said, “Success without hard work often comes with a greater price.”

“Sister Xia, are you mocking me?” Although An Lin lived in the house Yu Qian had bought and used the bag he had bought, she did not like others to say that she relied on men to afford such a good bag.

“No.” That was all Xia Wanyuan wanted to say. Seeing An Lin’s reaction, Xia Wanyuan could basically see An Lin’s end.

However, she was not a saint and could not be bothered with An Lin. She glanced at Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan strode away.

“Senior, will you really misunderstand me like Sister Xia?” An Lin had never put on makeup in class, but she had a good complexion. At this moment, she looked at Yu Qian pitifully, making her look even more delicate.

“Of course not. If I misunderstood you, would I have accompanied you to class? Let’s go and buy clothes.”

An Lin only cared about lowering her head to show her shyness, so she did not see the coldness in Yu Qian’s eyes and the gaze he had never given An Lin.

An Lin felt that it was a little strange. Yu Qian said that he was accompanying her to buy clothes, but he always appeared when the bill was paid. Every time, she would only see Yu Qian return after trying on clothes in the shop for more than half an hour.

However, because he was too generous with his card, An Lin was too embarrassed to question him.

“I don’t want to shop. What’s there to shop for? You women are so troublesome.” Suddenly, a complaint came from the door of the shop.

“Liar, you even said you like me. You’re annoyed even to shop with me for a while.” An Rao dragged Bo Xiao’s arm and walked in. However, when she looked up, she saw An Lin standing by the counter and Yu Qian beside her.

The smile on An Rao’s face disappeared, especially after seeing the pile of branded goods in An Lin’s hand.

“An Lin, what are you doing?” An Rao did not expect to bump into An Lin here. Shouldn’t Father and Mother An’s pride be in school at this time?

“Sister, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Wei from the Wei family, and this is my sister, An Rao.” An Lin introduced them.

“Superstar An, nice to meet you.” Yu Qian smiled and nodded.

An Rao knew that Xia Wanyuan had a brother named Wei Zimu who treated her quite well and immediately had a good attitude towards Yu Qian, but she didn’t understand why Wei Zimu would mix with An Lin.

Bo Xiao, who had been pulled over by An Rao with a bitter expression, subconsciously entered a state of alertness when he saw Yu Qian. This made Bo Xiao involuntarily look at Yu Qian again.

Looking at the gentle and weak person, Bo Xiao felt that his alert state was baffling.

“Sister, we’ll go elsewhere first. You guys shop first.” An Lin did not want Yu Qian to come into contact with An Rao. After all, An Rao was too beautiful, so she picked up the things and left with Yu Qian.
