She got into the car with Jun Shiling and drove past the tall buildings towards the suburbs.
Even in the car, Jun Shiling did not neglect his work. Xia Wanyuan watched him flip through the documents page by page and sighed in her heart.
“I think what you said last time was wrong,” Xia Wanyuan suddenly said.
“Huh?” Taking his attention away from the document, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with confusion in his eyes.
“If you weren’t the head of the Jun family, the Jun family wouldn’t have developed so well.”
Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, the corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up. “Are you praising me?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Xia Wanyuan retorted.
Jun Shiling’s smile became even more obvious. “I’m very honored to be praised by you. It’ll be a while before we reach. Let me chat with you for a while.”
“Sure. Do you guys do this every day when going to work? You don’t stop reading the documents.”
“It’s okay. Sometimes…” Jun Shiling patiently explained the company’s matters to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan liked to chat with Jun Shiling. He was an experienced and patient person. When chatting with him, he really proved an ancient saying. “Listening to a gentleman’s words is better than studying for ten years.”
Xia Wanyuan was very interested in the various institutions, cultures, and ideologies of modern society. Like a curious child, Jun Shiling patiently explained them to Xia Wanyuan one by one.
Time passed by unknowingly.
“Young Master, Madam, we’re here.” The car stopped and the chauffeur opened the door.
Jun Shiling got out of the car first, and the chauffeur tactfully left. Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan out of the car.
“Are we at the peak of the mountain?”
Xia Wanyuan was somewhat surprised. She did not expect that they would be on the mountain unknowingly.
“Mm, it’s a little cold on the mountain. Don’t catch a cold,” Jun Shiling said as he draped his coat over Xia Wanyuan and led her forward.
After walking for a short while, a large area of brightly lit buildings appeared in front of him. In this mountain, it was like a wonderland.
“CEO Jun, the food is ready.”
A servant in uniform waited respectfully at the door. In order to welcome Jun Shiling’s arrival, the entire Dreams in the Clouds was cleared.
The chamberlain led the way in through the open door, which was filled with flowers. Pink roses formed a long, dreamlike corridor.
Xia Wanyuan had a calm personality, but she also liked beautiful things. After all, there was no woman who did not like to be beautiful.
There were no roses in the Xia Dynasty. This was the first time Xia Wanyuan had seen such a beautiful flower, and her eyes lit up.
“What’s this called? It’s very beautiful.” Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were filled with stars. Under the lighting in Dreams in the Clouds, it looked especially dazzling.
“Rose. If you think it looks good, there can be more in the manor.”
“There’s no need. I won’t be staying in the manor for long. I just think that this flower is pretty.”
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened. Thinking of the divorce agreement he had signed back then, he sighed inwardly.
After a long corridor, they finally arrived at a bright room at the end.
The servants respectfully led Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan in. The lights in the house were gentler than outside.
The room was filled with flowers, and candles were burning on the table in the middle of the room.
Jun Shiling pulled out a stool for Xia Wanyuan and sat opposite her.
“Let’s celebrate. Congratulations on getting the endorsement.”
Jun Shiling raised his glass at Xia Wanyuan.
“Thank you for my future big boss’s encouragement?” Xia Wanyuan also raised her wine glass.
Jun Shiling laughed. Ya Zi was a subsidiary of the Jun Corporation. Speaking of which, he could be considered Xia Wanyuan’s future boss.
After clinking glasses, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan ate quietly.
In the hall, the extra servants had already retreated. In the middle of the hall, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling sat opposite each other, looking exceptionally peaceful and harmonious.
After the meal, Xia Wanyuan put down her chopsticks.
“Let’s go out for a walk,” Jun Shiling suggested.
The reason why Dreams in the Clouds was called Dreams in the Clouds was because it was located in the clouds at the peak of the mountain. Other than the quality of its service, its most attractive point was the night view here.
After following Jun Shiling for a while, they passed through a forest and the entire capital appeared in front of them.
The top of the Cloud Mountain was high, and Dreams in the Clouds was built on it. Standing at the peak of the mountain, one could look down on the entire capital city.
The lights gathered into a sea of stars.
The weather was good that night. The clouds were thin, and the stars in the sky were bright.
At the end of his gaze, the sky connected to the capital. One could not tell if the stars in the sky had fallen to the ground or if the lights on the ground had risen to the sky.
“It’s so beautiful. I didn’t know there was such a place in the city. Do you come here often?”
Xia Wanyuan sat on the observation chair by the side, and the stars in front of her fell into her eyes.
“It’s my first time here.”
The mountains were quiet, except for the sound of the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.
Xia Wanyuan half leaned on the chair while Jun Shiling stood behind her. Xia Wanyuan was looking at the scenery in front of her while the people behind her were looking at her.
By the time they returned to the manor, it was already very late.
Because Xiao Bao was not around tonight, only Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were left, which made things a little awkward.
“You sleep in the master bedroom. I’ll go to the bedroom next door.”
Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s unnatural behavior, Jun Shiling took the initiative to mention it.
“Okay.”
In the courtyard house, Xiao Bao was lying in the old man’s arms, his good-looking face frowning.
“What’s wrong, my dear great-grandson? Weren’t you fine just now?” Seeing that Xiao Bao was unhappy, the old man’s heart clenched.
“I miss Mommy and Daddy.” Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao felt so wronged that tears were about to fall.
“Aiyo, my good great-grandson, don’t cry. I’ll send you back tomorrow morning, okay?”
“No, Daddy said that Great-grandfather missed me. I want to spend more time with him.” Although he missed Xia Wanyuan very much, Xiao Bao felt that Great-grandfather missed him too.
“Good boy.” Although his grandson was cold all the time, this obedient great-grandson was really obedient and sensible. “Does your mother sleep with you every night?”
“Mm.” Xiao Bao nodded.
The old master’s impression of Xia Wanyuan increased a little. She was still a good mother. No wonder Xiao Bao was so clingy.
Daddy too,” Xiao Bao added.
“Mm. Huh?!” The old master was shocked. “You’re saying that your parents sleep with you every night?”
“Yes, Great-grandfather.” Xiao Bao’s eyes widened. What was so strange about that? “The teacher said that the whole family sleeps together.”
“Okay, okay, okay. It’s late. Sleep, good boy.”
Old Master was overjoyed. He knew Jun Shiling’s character very well. Jun Shiling had always hated others getting close to him. If he didn’t want to, Xia Wanyuan wouldn’t even be able to enter the bedroom. How could she sleep on the same bed as Jun Shiling?
My cold grandson must have fallen for her.
