This time, Xia Wanyuan did not avoid Jun Shiling's gaze.
Hence, she saw the burning warmth in Jun Shiling's eyes and the gentleness that seeped out of the corners of his eyes.
All those things that she usually ignored were suddenly connected in her heart.
"Okay?" Jun Shiling asked again. Jun Shiling, who had always been decisive in killing, actually had an imperceptible tremble in his voice.
He stared intently into Xia Wanyuan's eyes, afraid that he would see a hint of rejection.
"I don't know." After a moment of silence, Xia Wanyuan finally spoke.
Xia Wanyuan was not a hesitant person, but at this moment, she could not tell what she was feeling.
She admitted that she seemed to have unconsciously relied on Jun Shiling, but she did not know how to face this unfamiliar emotion.
A dim light flashed across Jun Shiling's eyes, but at least he did not hear any rejection from her. He felt very lucky.
"Then I'll give you time. Grandpa's birthday is in half a month. I hope that when the time comes, you can congratulate him as the real Madam Jun."
"Mm." Xia Wanyuan nodded.
"Can I hug you again?" Before Xia Wanyuan could answer, Jun Shiling pulled her into his arms.
Although Xia Wanyuan stiffened for a moment, she did not reject him. A smile flashed across Jun Shiling's eyes.
"Aren't you hot?" Xia Wanyuan was a little speechless. As she hugged him, she could feel the heat from Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling chuckled and placed his hand on Xia Wanyuan's shoulder. He tightened his grip slightly, letting her lean closer to his chest.
"Can you feel it?" Jun Shiling's voice brushed past Xia Wanyuan's ear, causing her to panic for no reason.
"What?" Xia Wanyuan could not help but ask.
"It's beating very quickly." Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms.
Xia Wanyuan could feel Jun Shiling's heart beating strongly and quickly through the thin summer clothes.
The presence of this heart was too great. Xia Wanyuan struggled for a while, wanting to get out of Jun Shiling's arms.
"I missed you." Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered into Xia Wanyuan's ear.
Xia Wanyuan's struggles suddenly stopped. Then, her face rapidly turned red.
Jun Shiling naturally saw the red tips of Xia Wanyuan's ears. This time, he was finally willing to let go of her.
Jun Shiling took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. "It seems that I didn't buy this wrongly. With your red ears, you should be matched with such a ruby."
Xia Wanyuan had yet to recover from Jun Shiling's series of actions when he teased her again. She could not help but look at him reproachfully, causing Jun Shiling's eyes to darken instantly.
After tearing open the veil in front of her, Jun Shiling no longer deliberately hid his strength in front of Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan could easily sense the change in Jun Shiling's eyes.
Afraid that he would say something embarrassing again, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took the box from him. The moment the box was opened, Xia Wanyuan's eyes lit up.
A pair of dark red earrings lay quietly in the box. The colors were as gorgeous as fireworks, and the colors that were emitted by the refraction of the corners were dazzling.
"It's so beautiful." Xia Wanyuan could not help but praise.
"Do you like it?"
"Yes."
"Mm, I like it too," Jun Shiling said leisurely, his gaze fixed on Xia Wanyuan.
