“Hehe.” Xiao Bao smiled until his teeth were white. The dimples on his face were identical to Xia Wanyuan’s. “Daddy, hug.”
Jun Shiling reached out to take Xiao Bao. “You’re not allowed to eat it secretly, understand?”
“Mm, mm!” Knowing that his father was also thinking about him, Xiao Bao was extremely happy. He leaned against his father’s broad chest cooperatively. “Daddy, I like you so much.”
“Mm,” Jun Shiling replied gently and stroked Xiao Bao’s soft head.
Looking at this loving scene, Xia Wanyuan smiled. She looked up and saw Xia Yu sitting at the side with a lonely expression. Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered.
Xiao Bao, who had originally cried and wanted Xia Wanyuan to accompany him, became more clingy to Jun Shiling in the end. He hung around Jun Shiling’s neck and did not come down. Even when he was showering, Jun Shiling had to help him wash up.
On account of not returning for nearly half a month, Jun Shiling agreed to Xiao Bao’s request and carried him into the bathroom.
Xia Wanyuan went upstairs and knocked on Xia Yu’s door.
“Sister, why are you here?” Xia Yu had just washed his hair and it was still wet.
Xia Wanyuan took the hairdryer from the side. “Sit down.”
“Okay.” Xia Yu had never had his hair blown before and was a little embarrassed.
Xia Wanyuan helped him blow slowly. “Have you visited Xia Yuanqing?”
Xia Yu was stunned. “No.”
“Find some time to visit him.”
Xia Yu was silent for a while. “Mm.”
Xia Yu was inexplicably sad to see Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling together.
Ever since Xia Yuanqing had carried him back, he had never lacked food, clothes, and use. However, he had never felt the love from his father. This was a lifelong regret for Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was sad for a moment, but this sadness was quickly resolved by Xia Wanyuan’s gentle actions. Fortunately, he still had a sister.
After drying her hair, Xia Wanyuan chatted with Xia Yu for a long time before leaving. It had been a long time since she had a heart-to-heart with Xia Yu. This time, they had a thorough chat.
When she returned to the bedroom, Xiao Bao was already asleep in Jun Shiling’s arms.
Jun Shiling looked up at Xia Wanyuan. “You’ve never talked to me for so long.”
Xia Wanyuan stepped forward and patted Jun Shiling’s hand. “That’s my younger brother.”
Jun Shiling snorted softly. “Come and sleep.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. She slept on Jun Shiling’s right and rested her head on his arm. “Goodnight, CEO Jun.”
A kiss landed. “Goodnight.”
The news of Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan returning to Beijing quickly spread to many people.
“Sister, Jun Shiling is back. I’ve already arranged it. Dress up better tomorrow night.” It was already late at night, but Jiang Kui still called Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun frowned. “What do you want?”
“Don’t worry about it. Anyway, we’ll be at the Guohua Hotel tomorrow. If you don’t come, you can report to Father yourself.” Jiang Kui hung up after saying that.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Jiang Yun tightened her grip on her phone. The computer in front of her was still playing Xia Yu’s live-stream replay, but Jiang Yun was not in the mood to watch this now.
Ever since they parted at the cinema last time, Jiang Yun had cut off her connection with Xia Yu.
To be honest, she was indeed a little tempted. Although she was about the same age as Xia Yu, she was mentally already much older than him.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she had a twenty-year-old body and a forty-year-old mentality.
She had seen too many schemes and benefits. It was impossible to not be tempted by Xia Yu’s pure and indomitable love.
However, because she was tempted, she did not dare to contact Xia Yu again.
As expected, it was right not to contact him. As long as she was a member of the Jiang family, she could not have freedom and would always be a tool of the family.
Jiang Yun stood up and turned off the live broadcast in front of her. She walked to the cloakroom to choose the clothes she wanted to wear to the banquet tomorrow.
——
The morning sun of the new day rose again.
Xia Wanyuan had just finished breakfast when she received Chen Yun’s continuous bombardment.
“My ancestor, your call can finally be connected.”
Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao’s hand and walked out. “What’s wrong?”
“Ancestor, do you know how much your movie has sold at the box office?” Chen Yun was stuck in the studio. He looked at the media reporters downstairs and wanted to cry.
“I don’t know. You can worry about this kind of thing.” From the moment Xia Wanyuan arrived in France until she stayed in the southwest for more than half a month, she had never paid attention to the domestic entertainment industry. She had not even watched the movie she had acted in completely.
“You’ve already broken the five billion mark!! You’ve broken all sorts of records. The media reporters are going crazy looking for you. Oh, and your fans’ comments under your latest Weibo post have already broken the Guinness record.”
The video of Xia Wanyuan participating in the design competition overseas had already attracted the attention of a large number of domestic audience in the afternoon.
That beautiful change not only conquered the foreign audience, but also captured the hearts of the domestic audience.
Various videos of Xia Wanyuan’s competition that day were popular on various platforms. That magical embroidery technique was simply dazzling.
Before the popularity of embroidery died down, “Dark Night” was released. The domestic estimated box office for this movie was about a billion yuan.
Although the director was very famous and the protagonist was the extremely popular Xia Wanyuan, it was not an eye-catching sci-fi movie after all, nor was it artistic. Instead, it was a movie with a slower pace to explore human nature.
However, no one had expected Xia Wanyuan’s performance to be so moving. She had vividly displayed that cold and heartless killer, the pure and clear Little Snow, and Snow Fox after experiencing a thousand sails, making one unable to help but be brought into that illusory world.
Wave after wave, Xia Wanyuan had dominated the first place on the Weibo rankings for nearly half a month. Her popularity had not decreased until now. She was known as a miracle in the entertainment industry.
However, just as Xia Wanyuan swept through the Internet, she disappeared from the public eye. No one could find her, making all the media and fans crazy with anxiety.
Now that Xia Wanyuan was finally back, Chen Yun could finally be relieved. “I’ve arranged a live broadcast for you tonight. Go online and chat with your fans.”
“No problem,” Xia Wanyuan agreed.
Xia Wanyuan had been gone for more than half a month. Most of the matters were carried out in an orderly manner without any major mistakes.
There was only one thing that Xia Wanyuan wanted to resolve immediately.
That was the Wei family.
Xia Wanyuan had just taken over and had disappeared for more than half a month. Xia Wanyuan was worried that the Wei family would take advantage of this period of time to cause trouble.
However, when she rushed to the Wei family’s courtyard, she was very surprised. Everything was in order. It was still the same when she left and returned.
