Xia Wanyuan turned her head slightly and saw Jun Shiling looking at her with a burning gaze.
Originally, the word “brother” was nothing strange in Xia Wanyuan’s understanding. It was like an older brother term, but when it came from Jun Shiling, it made her blush.
“Forget it if you don’t want to eat. I’m not the one who’s hungry anyway.” Xia Wanyuan threw the bread into Jun Shiling’s arms and leaned towards the window, pretending to be calm. However, her red earlobe exposed her unstable emotions.
“I’ll eat, okay? Sister Wanyuan.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s embarrassment, Jun Shiling’s smile widened. He tore open the packaging and ate slowly.
The words that were so normal in Wei Zimu’s mouth were said by Jun Shiling at this moment with an inexplicable lingering feeling, making one’s heart tingle.
“Don’t call me Sister Wanyuan.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling.
“Alright, then promise me that you won’t call him Brother in the future.” Jun Shiling slowly swallowed a mouthful of bread and glanced at Xia Wanyuan.
One day, I would hear Xia Wanyuan call me ‘Brother’.
“Deal.” Anyway, she did not plan to get along with those people from the Wei family. Wei Zimu was not her brother either, so she could not call him that.
Satisfied, Jun Shiling squeezed towards Xia Wanyuan. “How did you feel today?”
“There are many people and the food is delicious. Old Madam is quite smart.” Xia Wanyuan was concise.
“Remember to tell me before you come to the Wei family next time. After all, your appearance means that the Wei family has another person fighting for the inheritance. It’s better to be careful.”
“Got it.” Xia Wanyuan handed the milk to Jun Shiling. “Drink this.”
However, Jun Shiling did not take it. Instead, he looked at Xia Wanyuan with a burning gaze. “I signed too many documents. I’m exhausted.”
“…….”
Xia Wanyuan was speechless for a moment. Thinking of how Jun Shiling had taken the time to pick her up, her heart softened. She inserted the straw into the box and brought it to Jun Shiling’s mouth.
Jun Shiling lowered his head and took a sip from the straw, then looked at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze. “Do you want to try if the milk is sweet?”
Even if Xia Wanyuan was not enlightened, she had been very sensitive under Jun Shiling’s influence over the past few days. One look at Jun Shiling’s gaze and she knew what he meant by ‘give it a try’.
“No!”
“I have a box of new milk here. I just wanted to let you try it. Why are you so excited?” Jun Shiling smiled and took out an unopened box of milk from beside him, waving it in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Knowing that Jun Shiling was teasing her again, Xia Wanyuan simply placed the box beside Jun Shiling and sat by the window, never speaking to him again.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s exquisite side profile, Jun Shiling slowly finished the bread and found it funny. She’s angry with me.
Xia Wanyuan also felt that she should be angry at Jun Shiling’s teasing, but she did not seem to be angry at all, other than feeling exceptionally embarrassed.
Someone gently tugged at her sleeve. Xia Wanyuan turned around.
“I was joking. Why don’t you hit me to calm down?” Jun Shiling really went up to Xia Wanyuan.
“Hmph.” Xia Wanyuan really reached out and punched Jun Shiling, but the force was not strong. To Jun Shiling, who had been working out all year round, it was just an itch. “Alright, it’s done.”
“Are you appeased?”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
“Why are you so cute?” Feeling Xia Wanyuan gently punch his chest, Jun Shiling felt his heart soften. His love for Xia Wanyuan was about to overflow.
Jun Shiling suddenly reached out and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. She struggled for a while.
“I’ll just hug you for a while. I won’t do anything.” Jun Shiling gently patted Xia Wanyuan’s back, stopping her from struggling.
Lying in Jun Shiling’s arms, Xia Wanyuan could clearly hear Jun Shiling’s vigorous heartbeat and the feeling of love emanating from him.
Even she found it strange. I seemed to have done nothing. Why is Jun Shiling so good to me?
Xia Wanyuan had never been defensive in front of Jun Shiling. She had doubts in her heart and asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling laughed softly and said, “You don’t have to do anything.”
Then, Jun Shiling stopped talking, but the two people in each other’s arms understood what Jun Shiling meant.
You don’t have to do anything. As long as it’s you, I will like it.
The car fell silent for a moment, but only the people involved knew how turbulent it was.

“Mom, look how arrogant Xia Wanyuan was today. She made me feel embarrassed in front of so many people. My new gown was splashed with vegetable soup. Look!”
In the courtyard, Wei Yu was sitting beside Wei Xian with an aggrieved expression.
“Alright, who asked you to provoke her first? She’s just an actress. You’re the legitimate Third Miss of the Wei family. Why did you lower yourself to find trouble with her?”
“What do you think Grandma is thinking? Why did she get a lousy actress to sit at the same table as us? Could it be that Grandma wants her to enter the Wei family and share our assets?”
“I don’t know either. Your grandmother is too scheming, but I don’t think she paid any attention to Xia Wanyuan at tonight’s banquet.” Wei Xian had been paying attention to the Old Madam’s movements, but she could not tell what special care the Old Madam had for Xia Wanyuan.
“I don’t care, Mom. You have to help me. I was bullied by that Xia Wanyuan.”
“She’s just an actress. Just do whatever you want. Don’t disturb your grandmother.” Thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s cold eyes, Wei Xian inexplicably felt a little afraid. It was good to let Yu’er mess around. She wanted to see who that Xia Wanyuan was.

In the deep courtyard, Old Madam Wei sincerely offered incense to the ancestral tablet.
“Fengxian, I’m already old. Ever since you left, I’ve supported this huge Wei family alone. It’s a pity that the younger generation is useless. How many times have I wanted to look for you in the past few years? But when I thought that the Wei family would fail in my hands, I held on to my last breath. Fortunately…”
Halfway through her sentence, the old lady suddenly stopped talking. After a while, she looked up. “Old man, walk slowly. When I’ve arranged everything here, I’ll look for you.”
The moon was as cold as water as it quietly looked at the various states of the world.

The drama “The Long Ballad” had already entered the final stages. The regret and deep love between the Heavenly Spirit Princess and Qin Wu, who could not love, made many people unable to calm down.
As time passed, the role of the Heavenly Spirit Princess became more and more diverse, and everyone’s approval of Xia Wanyuan grew.
Taking advantage of this surge in popularity, the Ya Zi advertisement endorsed by Xia Wanyuan officially launched.
