“Oh, okay. Here.”
Xia Wanyuan handed the cake back to Jun Shiling. As she was used to taking care of Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan even tore open the packaging considerately and handed the spoon to Jun Shiling.
“……..”
Jun Shiling gave Xia Wanyuan a deep look, then put down the document in his hand and took the spoon.
For a moment, the car fell into silence. Only the rich fragrance of tea lingered in the car.
It was much later than usual when they got home.
When Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan walked into the house, they saw a yellow Pikachu squatting at the door.
From afar, it looked like a toy. When they got closer, they realized that Xiao Bao was sitting in the middle of the door with a pout on his face and looking at the two of them with his big eyes.
“Why are you sitting here?” Xia Wanyuan was amused by Xiao Bao’s aggrieved look.
“Daddy, Mommy, I’m hungry. Where did you guys go? Why are you only back now?”
“I’m so hungry. Daddy, Mommy, where did you guys go?” Xiao Bao looked like he was about to cry.
“You can eat first.” Xia Wanyuan walked up and pulled Xiao Bao up, then handed the cake to him. “Look, I bought this for you.”
“Wow, Mommy, you’re the best!!” Upon seeing the pretty little piggy cake, the grievance on Xiao Bao’s face disappeared and was replaced with joy.
“Young Master, Madam, you’re finally back. Little Master said he was hungry just now. I told him to eat first but he refused and insisted on waiting for you guys to eat together.”
Seeing that Jun Shiling and the rest had returned, Uncle Wang hurriedly got someone to prepare the food. “The food is ready.”
Xia Wanyuan had eaten an entire bowl of mocha mousse in advance. She was not very hungry, so she was full after eating half a bowl of rice.
After a tiring day, Xia Wanyuan wanted to go up and take a shower. “Eat slowly. Sleep with me tonight.”
Ever since she arrived in the modern world, Xiao Bao had been extremely close to Xia Wanyuan. In the past few days, he had been clamoring about sleeping with Xia Wanyuan. Now that Xia Wanyuan’s feet were much better, she wanted Xiao Bao to return to the master bedroom to sleep with her.
“Okay! Mommy, wait for me!”
Xiao Bao, whose mouth was stuffed, nodded happily.
After showering, Xia Wanyuan felt that the fatigue of the day had somewhat dissipated.
Ever since she had finished reading the book that Jun Shiling had placed by the bed last time, a new book would be placed on the bedside table every two days.
Xia Wanyuan was halfway through her book when Xiao Bao, who had been washed clean by the nannies, barged in.
But there was someone behind him.
Xia Wanyuan closed the book and met a pair of deep eyes.
For some reason, Xia Wanyuan suddenly recalled the warmth that had brushed past her lips in the car earlier. She immediately avoided Jun Shiling’s gaze unnaturally.
Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s resistance, Jun Shiling’s eyes turned cold.
“Mommy, let’s sleep together!”
Xiao Bao climbed onto the bed excitedly and crawled to Xia Wanyuan’s side, but his other hand was unwilling to let go of Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling could only lie on the bed according to his strength, and a fragrance instantly lingered at the tip of his nose.
“Let’s sleep.”
Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao’s head.
“Mommy, I can’t sleep. I can’t fix that Iron Man’s arm. Can you help me?”
Xiao Bao had a long nap in the afternoon and was very energetic.
“You’re not allowed to play with toys when you sleep.” Jun Shiling glared at Xiao Bao unhappily.
“Daddy is fierce to me… Mommy, save me… You’re the best! Play with me, okay?”
Xiao Bao shifted his tiny body a little, distancing himself from Jun Shiling. He turned around and hugged Xia Wanyuan’s arm, acting cute.
Xia Wanyuan didn’t know what to do with Xiao Bao’s soft whining, so she said to Jun Shiling, “It’s still early today. Why don’t you let him play for a while?”
Jun Shiling, who was decisive and never compromised in the business world, looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes and agreed to their request.
“The parts are next door. Mommy, I’ll go and get them.”
With that, Xiao Bao lifted the blanket and was about to get off the bed. “Don’t move.” Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling held onto Xiao Bao and got up to go next door.
Not long after, he brought over a small box.
“Daddy, you’re the best.” Xiao Bao grinned at Jun Shiling.
“Hmph.”
Jun Shiling threw the toy onto the blanket, while Xiao Bao opened the box and played with Xia Wanyuan. Jun Shiling picked up the finance newspaper and started reading.
“Daddy, Mommy and I can’t twist this.” A small part was handed to Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling took it and used a little strength to pry it open. Just as he handed it to Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao gave him a harder part. “We can’t twist this either.”
As a result, Jun Shiling’s habit of reading a finance report every night for decades was broken that night. Jun Shiling separated the parts while Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao assembled them at the side.
Finally, under the cooperation of the three people, Iron Man’s two arms were assembled.
“Wow, we’re too awesome!”
Xiao Bao looked at his pieced arms happily.
“Alright, let’s sleep.” Xia Wanyuan yawned. Her eyes were watery, and she looked sleepy.
“Okay, Mommy.” Xiao Bao obediently lay down under the blanket. Three seconds after he finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.
…
Jun Shiling glanced at Xiao Bao and reached out to take the toys on the blanket. However, Xia Wanyuan reached out to take the toys too.
Seeing that Jun Shiling had taken it, Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand. Meeting Jun Shiling’s gaze, she smiled slightly. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” Jun Shiling replied softly.
It was a good night’s sleep.
The editing for “The Long Ballad” had already entered the final stage, and it was time to start the early publicity.
“Yingyu, this is your first female lead drama. Xia Wanyuan is useless too. The company is preparing to package your image. You have to seize the opportunity.”
Ruan Yingyu’s manager had several B-list celebrities under her, so she was rather busy. Ruan Yingyu’s manager did not go with her when she was filming, so she did not know how Xia Wanyuan performed during filming.
Upon hearing her manager’s words, Ruan Yingyu was first elated. However, when she thought of Xia Wanyuan’s stunning performance, she panicked a little. However, now that the company was finally going to promote her, she didn’t want the company to think that she was a disappointment.
“Okay, I’ll cooperate with the company.”
Ruan Yingyu made a promise. When she first debuted, she was only a small internet celebrity and could not even be considered a B-list celebrity in the entertainment industry. Later on, when she acted as a supporting role in the production team, she relied on all sorts of scandals to become popular on the hot searches, tied together with marketing, and hyped herself up step by step.
During this process, there was no lack of pretty actors who had good acting skills. Their celebrity rankings were much higher than Ruan Yingyu’s, but as long as they kept brainwashing passers-by and distributing all kinds of marketing buns, they could create the impression that Ruan Yingyu and they were of the same celebrity ranking.
She had succeeded in the past, but this time, Xia Wanyuan herself had many dark spots. It was too easy for her to write essays.
Thinking of this, Ruan Yingyu felt that there was nothing to panic about. Rest assured, she sent all the photos she had taken on the production team to her manager.
