Xia Wanyuan slowly ate the orange Jun Shiling had peeled.
“You’ve made yourself like this. Have you never thought about my feelings?” Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s bruised leg, his heart aching.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Xia Wanyuan pulled the blanket over her legs. “I understand. Didn’t you say you weren’t angry with me anymore? I promise there won’t be a next time.”
“Mm.” Jun Shiling nodded. In any case, there was nothing he could do about Xia Wanyuan.

“You went to look for Tang Yin?” In the villa, the originally continuous and pleasant piano sound stopped after Shi Tian entered the house.
“Yo, you even know that. She really is your former lover. You have telepathy with her?” The person who was already filled with anger because of Xia Wanyuan became even angrier when he saw Liu Xingchuan’s nervous expression at the mention of Tang Yin.
“You only have this expression when you see Tang Yin.” Liu Xingchuan’s hand that was on the piano keys shrank slightly. It was so terrifying and hateful. “What did you do to her?”
“What can I do to her? She has many people protecting her now. Liu Xingchuan, let me tell you. You’re my man for the rest of your life. If you get entangled with Tang Yin again, I’ll definitely make her die a very ugly death.”
After Shi Tian finished speaking, Liu Xingchuan clenched his fists and remained silent.
Shi Tian looked at Liu Xingchuan’s back, her eyes filled with hatred and pain of adoration*. I loved him for so many years, but I still could not enter his heart. That Tang Yin was just a whore. What right did she have to make Liu Xingchuan miss her so much all these years?!*
If I don’t live well, others can’t either. Everyone should suffer together!

Under Xia Wanyuan’s deliberate softening, the coldness on Jun Shiling finally dissipated a lot.
Dinner was brought to the bedroom by the servants. Jun Shiling picked up the cutlery and prepared to feed Xia Wanyuan himself.
“I only have a small injury on my hand. It’s fine.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to take the chopsticks and eat it herself.
“It’s my duty to take care of you as a Brother,” Jun Shiling said leisurely instead of passing the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red instantly.
The reason why she had called Jun Shiling ‘Brother’ just now was because Xia Wanyuan wanted to coax him. In a moment of desperation, she recalled that Jun Shiling had especially wanted to hear her call him ‘Brother’ that day, so Xia Wanyuan called him directly without thinking too much.
Now that she was being teased by Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan felt a little embarrassed.
Jun Shiling was gloomy for the entire night. When he saw the pinkness on Xia Wanyuan’s face, there was finally a smile in his eyes.
“Open your mouth.” Jun Shiling scooped some rice and meat with a spoon and handed it to Xia Wanyuan.
Anyway, she was used to being taken care of by Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan ate the food Jun Shiling fed her mouthful by mouthful.
After the meal, Jun Shiling applied the medicine on Xia Wanyuan again before bringing the computer to the bedroom. He sat beside Xia Wanyuan and handled his work while she lay on the bed and watched “The Long Ballad”.
On the computer, an anonymous email was sent over.
“The people on Old K’s side have been active in Beijing recently. Someone in America sent news that they’ve discovered a nest of theirs in the Chels Mountain Range.”
“Keep an eye on him first,” Jun Shiling replied and added, “Check who appeared at the Beijing Film and Television Base today.”
“Understood.”
As the email was submitted, a blue light flashed on the computer, and all traces were erased. Jun Shiling looked up at the warm Xia Wanyuan under the light, his eyes filled with determination.
No matter how dark the world was, as long as I am here, I would give her light.
“Can you hand me a pillow?” Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big rabbit beside Jun Shiling. She wanted to put one on her back.
Jun Shiling switched off the computer and walked over with the big rabbit. He helped Xia Wanyuan pad before sitting by the bed.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.
“I didn’t hear you clearly just now. Call me again,” Jun Shiling said as he stared at Xia Wanyuan.
“Go away, don’t block me from watching television.” Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling, her face filled with embarrassment.
Jun Shiling reached out and switched off the television. The room instantly fell silent, so quiet that one could hear Jun Shiling’s strong heartbeat.
“Kiss me or call me. Pick yourself. I was supposed to have a meeting tonight. A bill of ten billion dollars. Because of you, it was postponed.”
“Don’t forget that I haven’t agreed to it yet.” Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling had been pushing his luck recently. What did he mean by I could choose myself??
“I want some interest first.” Jun Shiling smiled and leaned closer to Xia Wanyuan. “Have you considered it?”
“I’m not choosing either. Get out of the way. ‘The Long Ballad’ is ending tonight. It’s about to start.” Xia Wanyuan did not dare to look straight into Jun Shiling’s burning gaze.
“Sigh, for you, I delayed the bill for ten billion dollars. I didn’t even eat much. I was afraid that you would look for me if there was anything. Alright.” Jun Shiling lowered his eyes, and his tone had an obvious grievance.
Xia Wanyuan was stunned by Jun Shiling’s acting pitiful. Was this the Jun Shiling I knew who had said with a cold expression, “Don’t have any ideas about him. Get a divorce as soon as possible”?
However, she had to admit that this pitiful act was useful.
Jun Shiling had always been taking care of her, and he even ate his dinner quickly. She also knew that Jun Shiling treated her extremely well.
“Promise me that this will be the last time I call you. Don’t mention it again no matter what.”
“Okay, I won’t mention it in the future.” Jun Shiling paused for a moment and added meaningfully, “But when you call me that, it doesn’t count.”
Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, I won’t take the initiative to call you.
“Brother, is that enough? Or do you like to hear your childhood sweetheart call you Brother Shiling?” Xia Wanyuan quickly called out, but for some reason, she recalled that Zheng Fei had once called him Brother Shiling.
Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention Zheng Fei again, a helpless smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. ‘Can’t this matter be resolved?’
“I’ll say it again solemnly. There’s no one else but you.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously, his eyes firm and deep.
“Okay, okay, okay. Then can you move aside? I want to watch the drama.” Xia Wanyuan’s ears burned from Jun Shiling’s scorching gaze.
“Let’s watch it together.” Jun Shiling moved forward and sat beside Xia Wanyuan, then reached out and switched on the television.
Jun Shiling rarely watched television dramas. One reason was that he was too busy, and the other was because in the drama “The Long Ballad”, Xia Wanyuan’s role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess liked Qin Wu’s Lin Xiao.
The moment Jun Shiling saw Qin Wu, he recalled those WeChat messages. What dessert or not? Was there a need for him to buy them for Xia Wanyuan?
This was the first time Jun Shiling had watched Xia Wanyuan’s “The Long Ballad” seriously.
