Jun Shiling took a long time for this journey, and it was already very late when he returned to the manor.
Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed in a daze with a blanket draped over her. It was rare for her not to read or watch television dramas.
Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to wash up briefly and used hot water to warm his hands. Only then did he return to the bedroom and reach out to hug Xia Wanyuan. “What’s wrong, baby? Why aren’t you reading today?”
Xia Wanyuan looked a little unhappy and aggrieved. “Why are you back so late?”
Jun Shiling could not stand her like this and hurriedly leaned forward to kiss her, but Xia Wanyuan avoided him.
Jun Shiling did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Didn’t I send you a message? I have something to do. Don’t wait for me for dinner.”
“Oh.” Anyway, Xia Wanyuan was a little unhappy. She was going to Continent O tomorrow, but Jun Shiling came back so late tonight.
The grievance in Xia Wanyuan’s tone was about to overflow. Jun Shiling felt pitiful and amused. His eyes were filled with smiles as he hugged Xia Wanyuan and slept under the warm blanket. “Can’t bear to part with me? Are you throwing a tantrum with me?”
Xia Wanyuan refused to look at Jun Shiling angrily, her eyes staring straight at the small patterns on the blanket.
“Are you ignoring me?” Jun Shiling lowered his head to kiss Xia Wanyuan, but she stopped him.
“You came back so late. Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you doing?” Xia Wanyuan could not explain why she was throwing a tantrum, but she was just unhappy.
Xia Wanyuan did not know, but Jun Shiling did.
Xia Wanyuan was very independent and strong in front of outsiders, but she was already used to being by his side and used to having him around. Xia Wanyuan began to panic when she suddenly had to go out for so many days. It was just that she had not realized it herself.
“Baby.” Jun Shiling patiently pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand and held it tightly. “I’m sorry I’m late. Can you scold me?”
With Jun Shiling’s apology, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was being unreasonable. She looked at Jun Shiling unnaturally. “Why should I scold you?”
“Then if you don’t scold me, can you kiss me?” Jun Shiling smiled. His heavy breath landed on Xia Wanyuan’s neck, burning her until she subconsciously moved.
“No.” Xia Wanyuan blushed. “Who wants to kiss you?”
“Tsk.” Jun Shiling lowered his head. The faint fragrance on Xia Wanyuan instantly lingered around him. “Then it shouldn’t be illegal for me to kiss my wife, right?”
With that, his hot breath landed on Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan’s neck itched from his rubbing. She smiled and pushed him. “Jun Shiling.”
“Call me Hubby.” Jun Shiling did not stop what he was doing.
“Hubby ~” Xia Wanyuan was forced into a corner and could only call out according to his wishes.
“Mm, you were so proactive today. You even called me Hubby. Be good, don’t be anxious.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan gritted her teeth. “Bastard.”
The next day, Xia Wanyuan was carried onto the plane by Jun Shiling in a half-asleep state.
Xia Yu looked like he had nothing to live for the entire time.
Could my sister and her husband, who were showing off their love, go any further?!! Who would dare to imagine that the iron-faced big shot who was admired by the assault team was such a wife-doting demon in private?
If he went back and told his superiors and teammates, no one would believe him.
“Take good care of your sister.” Jun Shiling placed Xia Wanyuan on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
“Don’t worry, Brother-in-law. As long as I’m here, Sister will be here.” Xia Yu quickly retracted the series of thoughts in his mind and was as obedient as a lamb.
After instructing him, Jun Shiling turned around and looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan before turning to leave.
Without Jun Shiling beside her, Xia Wanyuan did not sleep well. Not long after the plane took off, Xia Wanyuan woke up.
“Sister, drink some water.” Xia Yu thoughtfully brought Xia Wanyuan a glass of warm water. Jun Shiling had specially instructed Xia Wanyuan to drink water when she woke up.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan reached out to take it, revealing the faint red mark on her arm. Xia Yu silently lowered his head.
Xia Yu: ( ̄▽ ̄;) I’m still a child. What did I do wrong to bear this?
——
Xia Wanyuan left. An Rao lived in the manor. Even though he had a clear conscience, in order not to make An Rao feel uncomfortable, Jun Shiling still moved everything to the office.
Xiao Bao went to school and Xia Wanyuan went to Continent O. An Rao was extremely bored and called Bo Xiao tentatively.
In the medical room, Shen Xiu was checking Bo Xiao’s body.
“You’re recovering well.”
Bo Xiao could take off his oxygen mask and speak slowly. He nodded at Shen Xiu. “Thank you.”
Just as Shen Xiu was about to speak, his communication device rang. He answered the call and listened for a while before looking at Bo Xiao. “The person you labeled as your wife called you. Do you want to answer it?”
Bo Xiao was stunned. “Mm.”
“Okay, then I’ll get your phone,” Shen Xiu said and strode out of the ward.
Soon, his phone was sent over. It was still ringing. Bo Xiao flipped through it. Over the past few days, An Rao had called him hundreds of times.
Looking at An Rao’s smile on the screen, Bo Xiao’s hand trembled as he held his phone.
Shen Xiu signaled the others to leave with him. The door closed and the ward fell silent. There was only the sound of his phone vibrating.
In the manor, An Rao did not have any hope that Bo Xiao would answer the phone. After all, for so many days, not a single call could be connected. An Rao was already used to it.
However, she still called every day. She knew that he would not answer, but An Rao had no other way to express her longing for Bo Xiao. She could only keep calling this number that would not be picked up.
It rang for a long time and there was no reaction as usual. An Rao pursed her lips and was about to turn it off.
With a beep, the voice chat connected.
!!!
An Rao was shocked. She did not even care that she was pregnant and jumped up from the sofa, scaring Mother Li. She hurriedly ran over to support An Rao.
“An Rao.” Bo Xiao’s voice came from the voice.
Bo Xiao called out, but he did not hear An Rao’s response for a while. “An Rao?”
Bo Xiao took his phone down to see if there was a problem. Why was there no sound?
A deafening cry suddenly came from the phone. “Bao Xiao, I miss you so much. Where did you go? You didn’t answer my call.”
Bo Xiao’s heart ached when he heard An Rao’s cries. “Are you a train? Wu wu.”
“You’re the train!” An Rao scolded jokingly as she continued to cry.
Bo Xiao replied as he waited for An Rao to finish crying.
About ten minutes later, An Rao calmed down.
“Good girl, have you eaten?” Bo Xiao’s gentle voice came from the phone, making An Rao cry again.
“Yes.” An Rao sobbed. “When are you coming back?”
“It’ll be a while more. I’m sorry.” Bo Xiao wanted to rush back to An Rao’s side, but he could not. This situation was not over and he could not leave.
An Rao fell silent.
After a while, Bo Xiao sighed. “An Rao, I love you.”
An Rao began to cry again. “Did you do something dangerous?” Before Bo Xiao could deny it, An Rao said, “I know. Bo Xiao, I’m not stupid.”
“I’m sorry.” Bo Xiao did not know what else to say.
“You don’t have to apologize to me.” An Rao wiped her tears. “I’ve never blamed you, and I’m not angry with you. I just want to tell you that the baby and I are proud of you.”
Hearing An Rao’s sobbing voice, Bo Xiao’s eyes turned red. “Stupid.”
“You’re not allowed to call me stupid!” An Rao seemed to have regained her vitality and bared her fangs and claws. “You said I’m stupid. What if the baby is very stupid?!”
“Stupid.” Bo Xiao chuckled. “As long as it’s your baby, I’ll like it no matter how stupid it is.”
“Pfft, you’re the stupid one. The child I gave birth to must be especially smart.” An Rao was unhappy. How could the child I was pregnant with be stupid?
“Mm, you’re right.” Bo Xiao lay down and placed his phone by his ear to chat with An Rao.
“Bo Xiao, I’m so happy that you’re chatting with me. I’m even happier than eating an entire box of green plums.” An Rao was very easy to coax. To her, having Bo Xiao’s company was better than anything else, even better than her favorite green plums.
“Then I’ll accompany you for a while more.” Bo Xiao’s voice was extremely gentle. At this moment, he would agree to anything An Rao said.
“Okay, you’re the best.” An Rao smiled.
Bo Xiao closed his eyes and smiled when he heard An Rao’s voice. “Stupid, you’re the best.”
It had been a long time since An Rao had heard Bo Xiao say sweet nothings. Being suddenly attacked, her face silently flushed red. Under Mother Li’s teasing gaze, she pulled the blanket over herself in embarrassment and secretly chatted with Bo Xiao.
