Wan Rou woke up early and watered the plants in the courtyard before sitting there to read.
“Xiaorou, you woke up so early.” Old Master Jun had always woken up early. He didn’t expect Wan Rou to wake up earlier than him.
“Grandpa Jun, I’m used to it. When Grandpa was alive, he would bring me to run every morning.”
“Damn, Old Wan still likes to exercise so much after not seeing him for so many years.” Hearing Wan Rou mention his grandfather, Old Master Jun recalled the days when he used to practice and run with his comrades and sighed.
“Yes, Grandpa often misses his former comrades. He always told me stories about you guys back then.” Wan Rou held the book in front of her, her eyes free of dust.
“What did he say?” The old master was interested.
Wan Rou began to tell the old master about what her grandfather had told her, making him laugh out loud.
“I really didn’t expect that old man to tell you everything.” Old Master Jun stroked his beard with a smile and glanced at the book Wan Rou was holding on her phone. “Girl, what book are you reading?”
“Grandpa, I got into Beijing University this year. I enrolled in September. I’m watching the classes that I’m taking when school starts now.”
“Beijing University?” The old master nodded in admiration.
Beijing University was one of the top five universities in the country. In Beijing, it was only second to the Qing University. To be able to attend this university, one could be called a genius.
Wan Rou pursed her lips and smiled. “I still have a lot to learn, Grandpa. I heard that there are many large libraries in Beijing. Can I get the chauffeur to bring me there?”
“Of course.” The old master nodded.
His comrade’s granddaughter was sensible, diligent and had a passion for learning. She was indeed very likable.
Continent O,
After Xia Wanyuan and the rest gathered for dinner, it was already late at night in Continent O.
When she returned to the hotel, Xia Wanyuan saw that Jun Shiling had called her. She called back, but no one picked up.
This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had called Jun Shiling, but no one picked up.
Xia Wanyuan frowned.
She called again, but no one picked up.
No matter how much Xia Wanyuan trusted Jun Shiling, she was a little unhappy and suspicious. Jun Shiling would never not answer her calls.
Why did it happen that there was a scandal in the country and he did not answer the phone?
Did I trust him too much?
Love always made people sensitive and suspicious. Xia Wanyuan could not help but fall into this cliché. She called the manor. Uncle Wang picked up.
“Young Master? Young Master went to work today and isn’t back yet. I heard from the company that Young Master seems to have gone out.”
“Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling’s number.
She was silent, thinking about something.
Five minutes later, Xia Wanyuan stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Meanwhile, on the flight path from China to Continent O, the Jun family’s private plane was cruising through the thunder.
There were many thunderstorms in midsummer, and the weather was especially bad that night.
In fact, such weather was not suitable for traveling, but Jun Shiling requested that they have to go to Continent O, so the pilot had to listen to Jun Shiling’s orders.
The plane was a little bumpy in the clouds. Jun Shiling looked at his phone. The signal had stopped, and he recalled Xia Wanyuan’s “I’m not coming back”.
Jun Shiling panicked.
Whether Xia Wanyuan was joking or not, he could not bear it.
After taking the fastest route, the skilled pilot forcefully shortened the flight time by three hours. He successfully sent Jun Shiling to his destination at five in the morning in Continent O.
The staff who had been waiting at the airport received Jun Shiling and brought him to the hotel where the production team of “Endless Challenge” was.
Without Jun Shiling by her side, in an unfamiliar environment in a foreign country, Xia Wanyuan’s sleep quality was not good to begin with.
In addition, she could not contact Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan was vexed and did not sleep well the entire night. In the morning, she heard a knock on the door in a daze. She looked at the dark sky outside the window and thought that she was still asleep.
However, the knocking continued. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and realized that the door to her room was indeed being knocked. Xia Wanyuan got out of bed and walked to the peephole to take a look. There was a cold figure standing outside the door.
Xia Wanyuan hurriedly opened the door with a look of surprise. “Jun Shiling? Why are you here?!”
Jun Shiling pursed his lips and strode into the room. He hugged Xia Wanyuan with one hand and closed the door with the other.
Xia Wanyuan, who had just woken up, was still warm from being under the blanket. Jun Shiling had been rushing around the entire night, and he felt a little cold.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan standing barefoot on the ground, Jun Shiling picked her up and placed her under the blanket. He took off his shoes and socks and got into bed, hugging her in his arms.
Xia Wanyuan still felt that she might be dreaming.
China and Continent O were more than ten hours away. Why was Jun Shiling here?
“Baby.” Jun Shiling buried his head in Xia Wanyuan’s neck. Smelling the faint fragrance, he finally felt a little relieved.
“You haven’t said why you’re here yet.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to hug Jun Shiling back, but thinking of that picture, she felt a little offended.
Jun Shiling sensed Xia Wanyuan’s hesitation and stepped back a little, letting her look into his eyes. “I saw that woman only yesterday. She’s the granddaughter of my grandfather’s comrade. I didn’t take a car with her. I just got the chauffeur to send her back.”
Xia Wanyuan’s mood improved a little. “Then just tell me over the phone. Why did you come all the way here?”
“I’m afraid.” Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly again, his voice low. “Don’t say that you won’t come back next time, okay?”
Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Her words were just a joke. But because of her words, Jun Shiling had rushed over day and night, Xia Wanyuan’s heart felt a little sour and sweet.
She suddenly felt that her suspicions about Jun Shiling were a little laughable.
Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s waist and nodded seriously. “I was just joking. I never thought of not going back.”
“Okay.” Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. “Sleep a while more. Let the production team leave first.. We’ll return to China ourselves.”
