“You’re eating too much. Two shares.” If it were Xuan Sheng’s own company, he might be willing to give these two cents to Xia Wanyuan. However, there was still a group of old farts in Glory World Corporation who were watching his mistake. He really could not give up these two shares.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the dining area. Around an open pavilion was a sky full of flowers. Xia Wanyuan looked at the sky full of stars and recalled that the original owner of the body seemed to like these flowers the most.
There was a freshly soaked Snowdrift on the table. It was the taste she had drunk in Xuan Sheng’s office the previous time. Xia Wanyuan took a sip, and the fragrant and sweet taste instantly engulfed her mouth.
“The last time I sent you a can of Snowing in the Wind to your house.” Xuan Sheng saw that Xia Wanyuan liked this tea and recalled the tea he had sent to the manor last time.
At the mention of this, Xia Wanyuan recalled that Jun Shiling had taken the pot of tea away and she had never seen it again.
“I didn’t receive it,” Xia Wanyuan replied. Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Xuan Sheng did not seem surprised. The corners of his lips curled up as he placed the refreshments beside Xia Wanyuan.
Knowing that Xia Wanyuan was interested in the Moon Bay project, Xuan Sheng got someone to bring the project book over and discussed this project with her one by one.
When they talked about serious matters, Xuan Sheng had the ability to make Xia Wanyuan take him seriously.
As she listened to Xuan Sheng’s summary seriously, Xia Wanyuan’s clear phoenix eyes looked at someone seriously, making one feel as if they were in the other party’s eyes.
“I want to go and check it out myself.” After listening to Xuan Sheng’s explanation, Xia Wanyuan suddenly had a better idea. It could combine the Moon Bay project with the company’s transformation, but she needed to go to Moon Bay and take a look personally to know if this idea could be successful.
“Sure. It’s developing over there. When are you going? I’ll tell them first.”
“Next month.” Old Master’s seventieth birthday was coming up soon, and she still had to settle the divorce procedures with Jun Shiling. She would probably be busy for the time being and would only have time to go out next month.
Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention next month, Xuan Sheng’s eyes flickered. The date that the employee of Jun Corporation that had resigned mentioned was the end of this month.
Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, the people below brought the food up tactfully.
“The food here is not bad. Try it.”
Xuan Sheng placed the cutlery by Xia Wanyuan’s hand and handed the beverage to her. Xia Wanyuan took it readily, as if she was already used to being treated like this. A thought flashed across Xuan Sheng’s mind, but his expression did not change.
The food here was in the southern style. It was exquisite and small, and the taste was not bad. Xia Wanyuan had been busy for a long time and was hungry now. She ate the rice in her bowl seriously and did not speak.
Xuan Sheng had never liked to eat. Slightly oily food would make him very anxious. However, seeing Xia Wanyuan eat so seriously today, Xuan Sheng’s appetite was aroused. He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth tentatively.
Mm, it still tasted awful. I will only have more appetite if I watch Xia Wanyuan eat.
After Xia Wanyuan finished a bowl, she handed it to the servant beside her, implying that she wanted another bowl.
Sensing Xuan Sheng’s interested gaze, Xia Wanyuan glanced at the rice in Xuan Sheng’s bowl.
“Out of all the men I’ve seen, you eat the least.”
“…….”
After Xia Wanyuan said this, Xuan Sheng seemed to insist on winning. He ate the food that he did not like. Xia Wanyuan ate two bowls while he ate two bowls and a spoonful.
“I ate more than you.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan put down her bowl and chopsticks, Xuan Sheng finally put down his chopsticks. His stomach churned with the disgust brought by the mixture of oil and gas. Some disorder began to appear in his eyes.
“Have some tea.” Xia Wanyuan sensed that something was wrong with Xuan Sheng’s emotions and handed him the teacup beside him.
Her bones were like bamboo, and her fair hand that was like jade rested on the porcelain cup as if it carried a hint of coldness. Miraculously, it made the impatience in Xuan Sheng’s heart dissipate a little.
“Alright, we’re done talking. Thank you for your hospitality. It’s time for me to go.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. She had to go back in the afternoon to prepare the promotion of potato chips. She couldn’t stay outside anymore.
“Okay, let me send you.” Xuan Sheng stood up and was about to send Xia Wanyuan out.
Xia Wanyuan’s phone vibrated.
A familiar black profile picture flashed on the screen. Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. ‘Isn’t it nighttime in France? Why isn’t Jun Shiling asleep?’
Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button. “Hello?”
“Have you eaten?” Jun Shiling’s voice sounded beside her ear. He seemed to have just woken up, and his voice was low and numb, tickling her ears.
“I just finished eating and am preparing to go back.”
Xuan Sheng watched Xia Wanyuan’s expression as she spoke on the phone. The warm smile on her lips was blinding to Xuan Sheng.
“The Eight Treasures Duck you just ate is a little oily. Drink some tea to get rid of the cloy feeling. It’s your favorite Snowing in the Wind.” Xuan Sheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.
By the window of the hotel, Jun Shiling, who was about to ask Xia Wanyuan what she had eaten, frowned.
Xuan Sheng??
Snowing in the Wind? Thinking of the bottle of Snowing in the Wind that he had thrown away, Jun Shiling frowned even more.
“No need, I’m not thirsty.” Xia Wanyuan waved her hand, picked up her bag, and walked out. Xuan Sheng followed her.
“You’re outside?” Jun Shiling suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked as usual.
“Mm, I bumped into CEO Xuan. We ate together and are preparing to go back now.”
“Okay, I’ll call you when you get back.” Jun Shiling’s voice was normal, but his deep eyes were already filled with coldness.
Ever since Xuan Sheng sent the Snowing in the Wind, he had sent people to investigate. He did not expect that this person was still lingering around.
Chen Yun and Tang Yin were about to die of anxiety. After waiting for a long time, Tang Yin had a fiery temper and was about to rush in. Fortunately, Xia Wanyuan appeared in time.
Watching Xia Wanyuan and the rest leave, Xuan Sheng recalled the expression on Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling’s faces when they spoke on the phone just now. He felt a headache coming on, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable impatience.
“Young Master, a few ladies were just sent to the courtyard. What do you think?”
From a very long time ago, in that dark courtyard, he had learned to use all sorts of extreme methods to ease his mental and physical depression.
But now, thinking of those ice-cold eyes, Xuan Sheng subconsciously resisted those darkness that could not see the sun.
“Send them away.” Xuan Sheng threw down this sentence and left the courtyard.

The fans who slept happily through the weekend reached for their phones and switched them on. They were about to watch Xia Yu’s live-stream replay when they saw a live-stream post that Xia Yu had just posted. All their sleepiness disappeared.
What did he mean by not live-streaming anymore?!?!!!
