Jun Shiling’s words had a lingering meaning. Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling staring at her.
“I meant the earrings.”
“That’s unfortunate.” The corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up slightly. “I’m talking about you.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan felt that she shouldn’t have said that.
“Don’t you have to go to the company?” Jun Shiling had left the Jun Corporation for two days, and things had probably piled up like a mountain.
“No, I want to accompany you.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan stopped talking. I shouldn’t have taken the initiative to talk to Jun Shiling.
“Do you have anything on this afternoon?” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was not talking to him, Jun Shiling could only find a topic.
“Yes, I’m going to send Xia Yu off. He’s going to join the military.”
After Xia Yu told her the news, she went to check on the information.
The “Youngster” plan that Xia Yu had signed up for was the entrance to the military that the second military district of the country used to target students from the higher education institutions.
It was said that the restrictions were very strict. It was quite amazing that Xia Yu could pass their preliminary screening.
Xia Yu seemed to have made a huge decision. He had prepared everything before informing Xia Wanyuan. That afternoon was the day Xia Yu left school and went to the training base.
“Then I’ll accompany you too. Let’s go back and eat first.”
In the manor, Uncle Wang was surprised to see Jun Shiling getting out of the car.
In the past European meetings, it would take a week to come back from Europe. It did not make sense for him to come back so early this year.
Then, Uncle Wang saw Xia Wanyuan getting out of the car behind Jun Shiling.
Mm, this made sense.
Uncle Wang continued to water the flowers leisurely.
At the dining table.
As usual, Jun Shiling peeled prawns for Xia Wanyuan.
Before Jun Shiling exposed this layer of paper, Xia Wanyuan was already used to Jun Shiling’s silent care. In the past, she had never felt that anything was wrong.
But now, looking at Jun Shiling sitting at the side, his hand that casually signed hundreds of millions of dollars, slowly peeling off the prawn shell, Xia Wanyuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“Does it look good?” Jun Shiling chuckled.
“I’m not looking at you.” Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze.
“I didn’t say that you were looking at me.” Jun Shiling smiled and waved his wrist, revealing the Patek Philippe on his wrist. “You should be looking at this watch. Do you like it? I’ll give it to you.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan was choked by Jun Shiling’s words. She simply shut her mouth and buried her head in her bowl.
The fair and tender prawn meat was placed in the bowl. Xia Wanyuan took a bite and picked it up. Beside her was the warm water Jun Shiling had placed for her.
After the meal, Jun Shiling insisted on going with Xia Wanyuan, who followed him.
——
“Xia Yu, you’re too sudden. You didn’t even give us time to have a farewell meal.” Su Mei patted Xia Yu’s shoulder with reluctance in his eyes.
Two days ago, when they saw Xia Yu saying that he wanted to join the military, they thought that he was joking. Who would have thought that Xia Yu would be serious and leave so suddenly? They were not prepared at all.
Although they did not have much of a relationship with Xia Yu when they were in their first year of university and even looked down on him, they had spent all their time together in the same dormitory this semester and had long become close friends.
Now that Xia Yu had suddenly left, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
“It’s not like I don’t have holidays. What are you all doing like little ladies? Aiyaya, don’t cry later. I won’t lend my shoulders to you.”
