Chapter 786 Blackout Bathroom
“Alright, you guys should go back early too. Remember to donate more incense money to the Daoist temples in the suburbs of Beijing another day. After all, your precious wife was specially bestowed to you by the heavens.”
The old master was just teasing him casually, but Jun Shiling, who knew Xia Wanyuan’s background, agreed very much with what the heavens had given him. He sent Lin Jing a message after leaving the study.
Hence, all the Daoist temples in Beijing received a huge sum of incense money that night.

Finally, after the day’s schedule, Li Na accompanied Master Danny into the car and all the Qing University crowd, who was bidding them farewell, was isolated outside the car.
Li Na poured a glass of water and handed it to Master Danny. “Teacher, you’ve walked for so long in the afternoon. Drink some water.”
Master Danny looked up at Li Na but did not reach out to take it. “Li Na, you’ve been with me for a while. We have a master-disciple relationship. Let me ask you something. Did you really draw that ‘Starry Sky’?”
Since paintings had varying standards, it meant that everyone’s painting skills had their own unique style, especially some brush skills in painting. Only specific people knew them.

Li Na’s painting skills were actually very talented. Otherwise, he would not have recruited her. However, during this period of time when he taught Li Na to draw, he felt that he had not seen any spiritual essence like “Starry Sky”. He attributed this to the sudden inspiration.
However, after seeing Xia Wanyuan’s “Sunflower” today, he understood that the passion that came from layering was the deepest mark in Xia Wanyuan’s works.
Without needing to look carefully, he knew that the real painter of “Starry Sky” was Xia Wanyuan.
“Teacher.” When Xia Wanyuan drew “Sunflower”, Li Na had a feeling that Master Danny would definitely notice. After all, she was also a painter and knew that Xia Wanyuan’s personal style could not be imitated.
Li Na immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but she forced herself to calm down. Since Master Danny knew but did not expose her in public, it meant that Master Danny still had some leeway in his heart.
And this last line was her lifeline.
After Li Na calmed down, she stopped talking. However, tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
“I told you to say it yourself. Why are you crying?” After all, he had brought Li Na along for a while and Li Na had treated him very well. Master Danny was still a little soft-hearted.
“Teacher.” Li Na suddenly stood up and knelt down to Master Danny. “Teacher, I’m sorry. I wanted to be your student too much. It’s all my fault. You can punish me however you want, but please don’t abandon me.”
Li Na really wanted to enter the social circle behind Master Danny. Li Na did not want to lose this opportunity.
“Get up. Why are you kneeling? How can you have such a great ability? I’m afraid that your mother helped you behind your back, right?” Those judges were all famous painters. Li Na could not control them as she pleased. Master Danny quickly thought of Lin Man.
“No, Teacher. I went to bribe the judges myself. It has nothing to do with my family.”
Li Na’s words impressed Master Danny. “Alright, get up first. I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you be my disciple.”
At that time, the disciple recruitment ceremony was for the world. Every big family knew that Li Na had become Danny’s disciple, so he could not go back on his word now.
This was also the reason why he had pretended not to know when he had clearly realized that Xia Wanyuan was the owner of “Starry Sky”. “Okay, Teacher, have some tea.” Hearing Master Danny’s words, Li Na was a little relieved. As long as Master Danny did not go back on his word, there was still a chance.

Although the old master had said that he did not need anyone to accompany him, Xiao Bao, who had been educated very sensibly by Xia Wanyuan, still expressed that he wanted to accompany the old master here. Hence, when they returned, there were only two people left in the car.
The old master was addicted to alcohol, but he had just finished the surgery and could not drink yet, so he could only replace the wine with tea and let Jun Shiling drink with him.
Jun Shiling was naturally not drinking tea and was a little drunk. Xia Wanyuan was still driving on the way back.
When they returned to the manor, Uncle Wang had already prepared hangover soup for them.
Jun Shiling drank the soup while Xia Wanyuan yawned and walked upstairs. “I’m so tired. I’ll take a shower first.”
“I want to go with you,” Jun Shiling, who was drinking the soup, suddenly said. These words frightened Xia Wanyuan awake.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Uncle Wang suppressing a smile with a flushed old face. She glared at Jun Shiling. “What nonsense are you talking about? Bathe yourself downstairs.” Then, she quickened her pace and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Jun Shiling, who had been mercilessly rejected, glanced at Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang coughed. “Young Master, the weather forecast said that there might be a thunderstorm tonight. The electricity supply in the manor hasn’t been good recently, so you have to be prepared in advance.”
With that, Uncle Wang took the bowl from Jun Shiling and left.
Fifteen minutes later, the electricity in the main building suddenly stopped.
Xia Wanyuan, who had just washed her hair, looked around at the darkness in confusion. Why was there a blackout again??
“Baby, the electricity has stopped. Are you afraid?” Xia Wanyuan had just taken the phone and was about to call Jun Shiling when his voice sounded outside the door.
How could there be such a coincidence? The power had just stopped, and he was at the door?
Xia Wanyuan replied angrily, “I’m not afraid. Don’t come in.”
“Oh,” Jun Shiling replied. “Baby, was the horror film you watched with An Rao last time nice?”
“…” Jun Shiling knew Xia Wanyuan too well. As expected, the lock of the bathroom was opened.
The door had just been pushed open when the darkness in the room was dispersed by the candlelight in Jun Shiling’s hand.
Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to be holding a candle. She hurriedly reached for the bathrobe, but Jun Shiling stopped her.
“It’s not like I’ve never seen it before. Why are you shy?” Although that was what he said, Jun Shiling’s gaze was like fire, sticking to Xia Wanyuan.
“Did you cause the blackout? How can it be so coincidental?” Besides, was the electricity in the manor so bad? Why did it stop for no reason? Jun Shiling, the richest man in the world, was too shameless.
“You blame me for the blackout too?” Jun Shiling locked the bathroom door and placed the candle on the table. The candlelight flickered as he walked.
“Stop quibbling. You really can think of anything.” Xia Wanyuan was so angry that she laughed.
Jun Shiling walked forward and carried Xia Wanyuan to the dressing table, then separated her legs and wrapped them around his waist.
Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red from this embarrassing position, but Jun Shiling did not let her go. He grabbed her hand and placed it on his tie.
“Help me remove it.”
