Bo Xiao took a step back and looked at An Rao. “Don’t cry. Once you cry, I want to bully you even more. I bullied you because you were cute.”
‘An Rao thought for a long time before understanding what Bo Xiao meant. “Bo Xiao, who behaves like you?! I’m going back to China now! You’re too much.”
‘An Rao stood up angrily and returned to the room to pack her luggage. Bo Xiao did not stop her, but he followed behind her and entered the room.
Seeing that An Rao had really started to pack her clothes, Bo Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her. “I was wrong, An Rao. I’ve never thought of mocking you. I smiled because you were cute.”
Bo Xiao spoke seriously, so An Rao was a little embarrassed. “Who would believe your nonsense?” However, her hand stopped packing.
Bo Xiao pulled her into his arms. “Don’t be angry at me, okay? I won’t let you run anymore.”
“Hmph.” An Rao’s ears turned red. “Do I not know how to act coquettishly?”
An Rao felt that other than her appearance being like a woman, she was like a tomboy in everything else. She also liked the old and fleshy Lian Po in games, and she was not like other young ladies who knew how to use Mengmeng as support.
“Nonsense. You’re clearly good at it.” Bo Xiao’s eyes curled up.
In his eyes, she was a cute person everywhere and would act coquettishly in his heart no matter what she did.
“An Rao,” Bo Xiao suddenly called out to her.
“Mm?”
“You’re so cute.”
“Oh,” An Rao replied calmly, but her entire face was flushed red.
She leaned on Bo Xiao’s shoulder.
Although acting coquettishly was useless, I still achieved my goal. There was no need to run anymore. I’m happy!
Beside the lotus pond, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a faint smile. “Professor Xia, you’re very experienced.”
“_.”Xia Wanyuan, who had just finished teaching An Rao how to act coquettishly, fell silent.
Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s smooth face. “You know how to act coquettishly so well. Can you teach me in the future?”
” “Xia Wanyuan also felt a little embarrassed. She picked up the plate and sat on the other side of the table. “There’s no need for CEO Jun to pick the bones for me personally. I’ll eat it myself.”
Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan sit diagonally across him in amusement. He lowered his head, picked the fish bones for Xia Wanyuan, and handed them to her.
Xia Wanyuan looked at the fair and fat fish meat without any bones and finally compromised with the food.
It was already past four in the afternoon when they arrived. After dinner, Jun Shiling sat with Xia Wanyuan for a while. The sun slowly slid down the sky, and the temperature dropped at the right time.
In the endless lotus pond, Xia Wanyuan sat on the boat while Jun Shiling supported himself on the bow.
The lotus flowers had all withered, and full lotus seed heads were hidden in the lotus leaves that connected to the sky.
Xia Wanyuan occasionally reached out to break off a lotus seed head. Not long after, the cabin was covered.
Jun Shiling held onto the paste and watched Xia Wanyuan peel the lotus seeds.
Xia Wanyuan looked up and saw Jun Shiling looking at her dotingly. She couldn’t help but blush. “Just row the boat properly. Why are you staring at me?”
“You look good.” The comers of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up.
‘When Xia Wanyuan peeled the lotus seeds, she was like a child who had suddenly seen a very novel thing. Her eyes shone.
Embarrassed by Jun Shiling’s words, Xia Wanyuan fed Jun Shiling a lotus seed.
In her previous life, in the depths of the Great Xia Dynasty’’s northern land, Xia Wanyuan did not know much about the flat boats in the south, so she did not notice the balance of the small boats.
Jun Shiling was about to remind her when Xia Wanyuan moved to his side.
The boat swayed twice and was about to flip over.
Jun Shiling hurriedly jumped into the lotus pond and supported the boat and Xia Wanyuan.
After a splash, Xia Wanyuan sat on the boat safely. Jun Shiling fell into the lake covered in water.
Jun Shiling rarely lost his composure like this. Xia Wanyuan found it funny. She took a lotus seed and splashed some water on Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling let Xia Wanyuan play with him helplessly. It was rare for her to be playful.
Perhaps the evening sun was too warm, or Jun Shiling was too gentle in the lake.
It reminded Xia Wanyuan of her previous life when she was still a little princess.
Her parents doted on her a lot and knew that she liked lotus flowers. Although they could not grow them in the palace, her parents still found a way to raise some in water tanks.
At that time, Xia Wanyuan liked to fold the lotus leaves with her younger siblings and hang them on her shoulders.
Because the juice of the lotus leaves had dirtied her palace gown, she was taught a lesson by her father.
A fish jumped out of the water from somewhere in the lake. With a splash, it pulled Xia Wanyuan’s thoughts back.
Looking at Jun Shiling in the lake, Xia Wanyuan reached out and folded a few lotus leaves.
Qin Kai was pickling vegetables in the small building by the lake. He looked up tired and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was draped in lotus leaves, talking to Jun Shiling with a ring of lotus leaves in her hand.
‘They were too far away for him to see their expressions. He only knew that not long after, Jun Shiling, who was wearing a white shirt on the lake, had a lotus leaf shawl on him.
‘When the sun had completely fallen to the horizon, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan came to bid farewell to Qin Kai.
Seeing the green marks on Jun Shiling’s shirt, a smile appeared in Qin Kai’s eyes.
“Come back in the autumn and winter. I’ll make grilled fish for you when the time comes.”
“Okay, bye, Uncle Qin.”
‘When they returned to the manor, Xiao Bao had been waiting at the door for a long time. Jun Shiling got out of the car and handed the lotus seed pod in the trunk to the servant.
Xiao Bao leaned over to take a look and pouted in disdain when he saw Jun Shiling’s green clothes. “Daddy, why are you so unhygienic? You’re so dirty.”
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan had also gotten out of the car. Xiao Bao ran over and hugged Xia Wanyuan’s leg. His big eyes blinked as he frantically expressed his dependence and longing for her.
Xia Wanyuan squatted down and kissed Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao saw the green mark on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder.
“Mommy, what happened to your shoulder? Are you hurt? Let me blow it for you.”
Jun Shiling glanced at Jun Yin, who was nothing like his biological son other than his appearance. Xiao Bao felt a chill on his neck and pulled Xia Wanyuan into the house. “Mommy, I’m hungry. When are we eating?”
In the end, the dinner was pork ribs stewed with lotus seeds that Xia Wanyuan had picked up. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were not hungry, so Xiao Bao ate two large bowls alone.
After dinner, Xia Wanyuan was about to see if anyone had looked for her today. She switched on her phone and saw dozens of messages popping up.
Xia Wanyuan clicked on the first post. It was a message from Tang Yin, a Weibo link.
Xia Wanyuan clicked on the link and took a look.
Something happened again.
However, she was not the one in trouble this time.
It was An Rao..
