Xia Wanyuan pushed the door open and entered. Jun Shiling, who was reading at the table, looked up at Xia Wanyuan and lowered his head. For the first time, he did not stand up to pick Xia Wanyuan up.
A hint of a smile flashed across Xia Wanyuan's eyes. This was the first time she had seen Jun Shiling angry. It seemed that Xiao Bao's habit of ignoring others after getting angry was inherited from Jun Shiling.
She suddenly felt that Jun Shiling looked a little awkward and cute like this.
Xia Wanyuan placed the fruit juice beside Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling glanced at it and his gaze softened for a moment, but he immediately hardened his heart and looked away.
"I know you're worried about me. I'm very grateful." Xia Wanyuan moved a chair and sat opposite Jun Shiling.
"Who wants your gratitude?" Upon hearing the word 'grateful', Jun Shiling's eyes were filled with displeasure.
"I'm not grateful. I'm touched, okay?" Xia Wanyuan smiled comfortingly. "But if it were you today, you would have fought as hard as me, right?"
Hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Jun Shiling suddenly looked up and met Xia Wanyuan's watery eyes. The determination and clarity in her eyes were more dazzling than any pearls he had ever seen.
She was right. In some aspects, Xia Wanyuan was very similar to him. If he was the one who had accepted the variety show today, he would also do his best.
"I just… think that you're working too hard." Jun Shiling's attitude softened. "The money I."
Jun Shiling wanted to say that he could give her all the money, but he stopped when he met Xia Wanyuan's clear and bright eyes.
The determination and arrogance that she exuded were what attracted me the most, right? How could someone like her allow herself to live under someone else's wings forever? She was destined to fight the storm and spread her wings to fly.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you so harshly just now." After calming down, Jun Shiling recalled his reaction and his eyes were filled with guilt.
"It's nothing. You're just concerned about me. Can you give me face and try the fruit juice I made for CEO Jun now?"
After the exercise, Xia Wanyuan looked flushed. At that moment, she was smiling slightly, and her lively and playful look made Jun Shiling's heart throb.
"What do you plan to do in the future?" Jun Shiling finished the entire bottle of fruit juice and asked this question casually.
"I think I'll do my best in the entertainment industry. If I don't do well, I'll retire and study hard. Perhaps I can even go to university and travel around."
In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had never left the borders of the Xia Dynasty. With such advanced transportation in this life, Xia Wanyuan wanted to visit the entire world.
"Mm." Jun Shiling quietly listened to Xia Wanyuan's future plans. There's no me or the manor, it was as if everything here had nothing to do with her.
"What about Jun Yin?" Jun Shiling mentioned Xiao Bao.
"I…" Xia Wanyuan was speechless at the mention of Xiao Bao. When she had signed the agreement with Jun Shiling, she had taken more pity on Xiao Bao.
After spending some time together, Xiao Bao had long become someone she could not bear to part with. Now that Jun Shiling was talking about Xiao Bao, Xia Wanyuan did not know how to explain it to him.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Jun Yin will be back soon. Let's go down and eat." In the end, Jun Shiling broke the stalemate.
Uncle Wang waited downstairs and watched Xia Wanyuan enter for a while. When he came out, he was finally relieved to see Jun Shiling, who had a calm expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao, who usually went home on time, was not home yet.
Just as he was wondering if there was a traffic jam, the school called.
