The publication of journals required a fixed date. Usually, it would take a month or two before it could be announced to the public. Principal Yang could not wait that long. Anyway, the chief editors of those journals had already told him that there was no problem. Principal Yang let Xia Wanyuan sign the contract.

This also led to some people congratulating Qing University’s Weibo post and others questioning Xia Wanyuan’s qualifications.

[I’m so happy to hear Professor Xia’s lecture again.]

[ Eh, it was so noisy a while ago. Isn’t it because Xia Wanyuan doesn’t have the qualifications? It’s only been a few months, how can she go back to teaching? Just because she’s Mrs. Jun now? ]

[ The person in front, is there a point in talking about Jun Shiling for no reason? Even without CEO Jun, Xia Wanyuan is still a very outstanding person. Go to the Qing University campus and ask. Who doesn’t like to listen to Xia Wanyuan’s classes? Her ability is obvious. ]

The netizens discussed spiritedly, but Qing University remained unmoved.

Principal Yang brewed a cup of tea and took a sip with a smile. “Let them talk. Anyway, when Xia Wanyuan’s journal is published, it will be a slap to their faces. Sigh, look, there’s such a powerful teacher in the school. As a leader, I don’t have to worry.”

The assistant nodded repeatedly.

In the manor, An Rao was leaning on the sofa with her stomach raised. She frowned and looked very unhappy. “Yuan Yuan, do you think Bo Xiao really went to the southwest for a mission?”

“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan looked curiously at An Rao’s stomach. It had only been a while since they last met, but it looked a little bigger.

“He can clearly get through to my phone, but he always doesn’t answer my calls and even says that he’s very busy.” Pregnant women were already unstable. As An Rao spoke, she became aggrieved. “Could Bo Xiao have gone to meet a wild woman in private?”

Xia Wanyuan smiled and handed An Rao a sour plum. “Stop thinking nonsense. Bo Xiao is not that kind of person.”

“Hmph, that might not be the case. Men are the most fickle. The passionate period is one thing, and after the passionate period is another.” An Rao snorted and ate a sour plum. “Sister, this plum isn’t sour enough. It doesn’t taste much.”

Xia Wanyuan picked one up and tasted it. She immediately gasped and drank an entire glass of water to barely suppress the sour taste in her mouth. “I think Xiao Bao’s wish to have a sister has failed.”

“Don’t count on me. Work hard with CEO Jun.” An Rao smiled and winked at Xia Wanyuan. “Give birth to a daughter like you. She’ll definitely be beautiful and cute.”

Xia Wanyuan imagined her and Jun Shiling’s daughter and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was definitely a little princess who would be doted on by Jun Shiling.

An Rao had been living in the manor recently. She needed to rest now and went to bed early. Xia Wanyuan sat in the living room and waited for Jun Shiling to come home.

During this period of time, Jun Shiling was very busy. It was the beginning of the new year, and all kinds of work needed to be arranged. When Jun Shiling arrived home, it was already past ten in the evening.

He walked into the house. Xia Wanyuan was reading under a blanket. Seeing him return, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes lit up and she reached out to Jun Shiling.

“You waited for a long time, right?” Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up, slowly walking upstairs.

Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s neck. “I miss you.”

Although she was very busy, as long as she had a little time to spare, she would think of Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling paused and looked down at Xia Wanyuan. After showering, there was a faint fragrance on her that made one’s heart flutter. “You know I have no resistance, yet you still attract me every day.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled until her dimples appeared. “CEO Jun, do you want a daughter?”

Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks. “Daughter?”

Jun Shiling imagined it. It should be a little angel with big eyes and exquisite facial features like Xia Wanyuan. She was small and soft, the kind that he could hold with one hand. Just thinking about it made his heart melt.

Xia Wanyuan nodded, her eyes shining. “She must be as cute as me.”

A smile appeared on Jun Shiling’s face. “Mm, as cute as you.”

With that, Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom.
