Xia Wanyuan’s light sentence stunned everyone around her.
High popularity? “Moon As Frost”‘s viewership ratings exploded, and its popularity soared.
The sales of Wan Yi was still firmly at the top of the rankings.
Everyone thought about it. There was indeed nothing wrong with it, but!! She’s a newbie, that’s too arrogant!
“Miss Xia, you’re so confident.” Shang Jie could not help but mock her again. “There are so many A-list celebrities at the gala. I wonder if you think that they can’t compare to you.”
After waiting for a long time, Xia Wanyuan did not respond, as if she did not take this provocation seriously.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in simple clothes that could not hide her beauty, Shang Jie was jealous and angry.
Originally, her management company had spent a lot of money to get her an opportunity to perform behind Yan Ci at the gala. They wanted to use Yan Ci’s popularity to increase her exposure.
They had been rehearsing for so long, but they did not expect Xia Wanyuan to suddenly join. The organizers of the gala adjusted the order of the performance again. Shang Jie’s position was at the back, and the company’s early operations were all wasted.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan go on stage to practice, Shang Jie looked at her back hatefully.
“Pfft, I don’t know how many times you’ve packaged your voice in the recording studio, but you still have the cheek to say it. Newcomers nowadays are really arrogant when they have some results.”
However, in the next second, the accompanying music sounded. Xia Wanyuan’s voice spread throughout the venue through the sound system. Shang Jie’s mocking words were stuck in her throat.
Anyone with ears could tell that Xia Wanyuan sang very well.
The television station had prepared a specialized dance team for Xia Wanyuan. Because there was no friction in the early stages, the dance team’s performance tonight was not very good. They were always a little lacking in rhythm with Xia Wanyuan, so they had never met the director’s requirements.
In order to show the best stage effect, Xia Wanyuan could only practice with the team continuously.
“I’m really sorry, Miss Xia. I caught a cold today and my movements are a little slow.” The person leading the dance was a young girl. After continuous mistakes, she bowed apologetically to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at her. Even with makeup, the little girl’s face was pale, so she did not argue with her.
The dance troupe and singers needed to work together. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was not a bad thing to practice a few more times.
It was not until eleven in the evening that Xia Wanyuan finally ended the rehearsal.
Most people in the entertainment industry knew each other. After the drill, everyone was busy greeting each other and greeting their seniors. Xia Wanyuan looked around and did not see anyone she knew, so she walked out of the door herself.
Xia Wanyuan was currently in the limelight. The others followed behind her in groups, sizing up this new trend with different expressions.
Everyone walked out. Outside the recording studio, there was a car parked. There was only one car parked in the huge square.
Strawberry TV Station’s gala was held in a strictly controlled gymnasium. Parking was not allowed here, so even if everyone drove over, they could only park in the underground parking lot.
Now that they saw this Phantom parked so pompously at the door, they were all wondering which god was so respected.
Then, everyone saw Xia Wanyuan get into the car. The Phantom quickly left under everyone’s gazes.
Seeing this scene, many people could not help but gossip about Xia Wanyuan’s boyfriend.
“Tsk tsk, to be able to drive the Phantom over to pick her up, Xia Wanyuan’s boyfriend is really powerful. No wonder the New Year’s Gala specially let her start. It’s good to be rich.”
“I’ve always heard that she has a boyfriend, but I’ve never seen him publicly. Could he be the kind that can’t be seen in public?”
“You have a point. If she was dating openly, why didn’t she leak any information about her boyfriend? Maybe she didn’t dare to leak it. If she leaked it, she wouldn’t be able to keep her goddess halo, haha.”
All the criticism stopped outside. In the car, Xia Wanyuan was eating the cake Jun Shiling had fed her.
]”CEO Jun, why are you always so warm?” Xia Wanyuan placed her hand on Jun Shiling’s shirt. Jun Shiling’s body kept transmitting warmth to her palm.
“Eat half. I got Nanny Li to make you supper.” Taking away the remaining cake, Jun Shiling reached out and held Xia Wanyuan’s frozen fingertips.
Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling’s handsome face and did not speak. She suddenly leaned forward and kissed him, smelling of cake.
“Don’t provoke me.” Jun Shiling berated her coldly.
Xia Wanyuan liked to take the initiative to tease him more and more now. However, Xia Wanyuan had been extremely busy these few days. Jun Shiling’s heart ached for her, so he did not dare to torture her anymore. He could only endure it himself.
Hearing Jun Shiling’s reprimand, Xia Wanyuan did not mind. When Jun Shiling warmed her fingertips just now, she suddenly thought of her previous life.
At that time, her younger brother was still young and many important matters in the imperial court needed her to manage. The winter in Xia country was also very cold, and it was not as warm as the air conditioner today.
Usually, she would get the servants to light a charcoal fire in the house and then stand guard by the candle to review the memorials. Normally, she would spend the night reading them. If she held the brush for too long, she would freeze.
At this time, she usually reached out to the brazier to warm herself up before approving the documents.
But now, after she finished work, there was hot food waiting at home. Jun Shiling would use his body temperature to warm her frozen hands.
Xia Wanyuan smiled and hooked Jun Shiling with her fingertips through his shirt. “I just want to provoke you.”
“…” Jun Shiling’s body stiffened and he tightened his grip on Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “If you provoke me again, the braised pork for supper will be canceled.”
He had nothing else to threaten Xia Wanyuan with.
Hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes lit up. She leaned forward and kissed Jun Shiling. “You won’t cancel it.”
The red braised pork made by the Jun family’s chef was fat and thin. It melted in the mouth and was not greasy at all. Ever since she said that she liked to eat it, Jun Shiling had asked the manor to prepare this dish for three meals a day.
Jun Shiling sighed helplessly and pressed Xia Wanyuan’s waist closer to him, making her lean closer. “What do you want?”
