1457 Boiling
The mechanism had already begun to fall down the cliff. As if sensing Xi Yue’s gaze, the village chief in the middle of the array looked at her and smiled kindly at Xi Yue.
The surrounding water was rapid. Xi Yue could not hear what her father had said to her, but she could only come out from her father’s mouth. What his father had said to her was, “Go on. Take good care of yourself.”
Xia Wei, who had been silent, pulled Xi Yue’s wrist. “I’ll be fine…”
Before he could finish speaking, the soft silk on Xi Yue’s sleeve was flung out. She struggled to throw and wrap it around the stone by the cliff, then left the slowly falling mechanism.
Xi Yue’s actions were too fast. Xia Wei could not stop her even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, she was not far from the top of the waterfall. When Xia Wei gradually landed at the bottom of the waterfall, Xi Yue finally climbed to the top of the waterfall.
Watching Xi Yue’s back disappear in front of the cliff waterfall, Xia Wei’s eyes were a little moved.
He had been an emperor for many years, and the only softness in his heart was reserved for his family.
He maintained a high level of vigilance and defense against everyone around him.
He had accidentally entered this paradise and had been hiding his identity because he was worried that this was a trap set by the enemy.
He wanted to go out. Even though he knew that he had to sacrifice the blood of his clansmen to the heavens to break the array here, he still gave the village chief an order.
His original plan was to treat Xi Yue well after leaving and comfort the old village chief’s spirit in heaven. However, he did not expect Xi Yue to turn around so decisively.
Even if the heart of an emperor was moved now, it would only be for a moment. Xia Wei stood on the spot for a while, and his eyes were filled with gloom again.
He turned around and continued down the river.

At this moment, another half a month had passed in China. Jun Shiling was still active in the public eye, but Xia Wanyuan still did not appear.
The topic of “Where did Xia Wanyuan go?” had already fermented to the maximum.
[ Where did Xia Wanyuan go? Even if she’s missing, she has to give an explanation… She’s not some third party. She’s the representative of China, the wife of the richest man!! Why hasn’t anyone reacted after she disappeared for so long!! ]
[ What puzzled me the most was that… CEO Jun actually acted as if nothing had happened… In the past two days, I relived the variety show they participated in together. I began to wonder if the two of them were acting lovey-dovey back then. ]
[ I’ve already told you that Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are faking their marriage. You still don’t believe me, right?? Li Na, the daughter of the Blue family in America, is already preparing to marry Jun Shiling. What bullsh*t love is nothing. ]
Among the many comments, there were some scandals about Jun Shiling and Li Na.
Everyone thought that the haters were spreading rumors. Unexpectedly, not long after, Li Na personally arrived in China and registered a Chinese social media account.
The first person she followed on Weibo was Jun Shiling. She even posted a post.
@ Li Na: “@ Jun Shiling, I’m very happy to walk the rest of the way with you.”
When this post was posted, the entire Internet erupted.
[ F*ck, what did I see… This is too much. As expected, men are the most honest when they are hung on the wall. I really didn’t expect even Jun Shiling to have a change of heart. ]
[ So, I can’t see Xia Wanyuan now because Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are divorced? It’s shocking my entire family. ]
[ From the looks of it, the reason why Xia Wanyuan disappeared is very easy to understand… Is it because Jun Shiling had a change of heart and she was too sad and hid? ]
[ I don’t believe in love anymore… Men are really dogs. Even Jun Shiling has a change of heart. What man won’t change his mind??? ]
In the Beijing Hotel, the staff tried to stop Li Na from posting on Weibo, but in the end, they could not stop her.
“What are you afraid of?” Li Na was very calm. “Xia Wanyuan is missing. What’s there to worry about? Behind me is the entire Blue family. I don’t believe Jun Shiling isn’t tempted.”
“But Miss.” The assistant had seen Jun Shiling once and had a deep impression of him. He kept feeling that Jun Shiling was not an easy person to control. “Will this anger him?”
“Didn’t I just post a status?” Li Na rolled her eyes. “If he wants to be calculative, I’ll say that I’m talking about the cooperation between the two families in the future.”
At this moment, Jun Shiling did not have the time to pay attention to Li Na. The ordinary people did not know where Xia Wanyuan had gone, but to many powerful forces, they vaguely received the news.
Xia Wanyuan was taken away by K.
No matter who took Xia Wanyuan away, to these people, Xia Wanyuan’s departure was equivalent to exposing Jun Shiling’s huge weakness.
Countless forces joined forces to surround the Jun Corporation. Jun Shiling slept less than three hours a day on average.
After an international meeting, Jun Shiling walked to the office and looked up to see Old Master Jun standing at the door.
Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Old Master. “Grandpa, why are you here?”
The old master did not look good. He turned and walked to the office. “Come in alone.”
After Jun Shiling and Old Master entered the office, Lin Jing went forward to help close the door. The moment the door closed, Lin Jing clearly heard the slap in the room.
His expression froze. After closing the door, he guarded it and did not let anyone approach.
In the room, even though he had been slapped, Jun Shiling’s expression did not change.
Old Master Jun looked at Jun Shiling with red eyes. “Do you want to die???! You don’t want your home anymore, right?? The butler said that you haven’t returned to the manor for an entire month.”
Jun Shiling lowered his head and did not meet Old Master’s gaze. “Home? How do I have a home?”
Home was where Xia Wanyuan was. Now, every blade of grass and tree in the manor would only remind him of Xia Wanyuan, so he was unwilling to go back.
Looking at Jun Shiling’s expression, Old Master sighed. “I know you’re sad. How can my heart not ache when Wanyuan leaves? But you still have two sons. Do you want Jiajin to become the Xiao Bao that no one doted on and loved in the past?”
Jun Shiling was silent.
Old Master Jun sat on the sofa trembling. He looked at the dejected Jun Shiling. “Take it that I’m begging you, okay?”
Jun Shiling looked up with a deep gaze. “Grandpa, I understand.”
“There’s one more thing. Are you preparing to find a stepmother for Xiao Bao??”
“What do you mean?”
“Go and look at the Internet.” The old master shook his head. “Although Wanyuan isn’t around, not everyone can touch the position of the mistress of the Jun family. Handle it properly.”
