Chapter 236: Ruan Yingyu’s Scheme

Everyone was already stunned. They did not even have the mood to send the comments. They were afraid that the comments would block the shocking beauty in front of them.

It was only when Xia Wanyuan had finished walking the red carpet that the huge screen fell silent.

The people backstage were quite puzzled. Could it be that there was a problem with the bullet screen system again?

The staff hurriedly got up and looked for the technician to read the comments.

Just as the backstage staff left, the comments erupted like a volcano.

And this time, it had nothing to do with supporting their idol or the competitiveness between the fans. It was all because they had been conquered by Xia Wanyuan’s beauty and bearing.

This time, the comments were even more than the top comments in front.

Xia Wanyuan entered the venue. There were only fifteen minutes until the start of the ceremony. Almost everyone was already seated, and the host on stage was warming up the venue.

On the large screen on the stage, cameras kept sweeping across the celebrities in the venue, showing everyone’s reactions.

Accompanied by Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan was slowly walking down the aisle to find her position when the camera suddenly pointed at her, imprinting her entire person on the big screen.

There was a sudden commotion in the venue. Xia Wanyuan looked up in confusion and saw herself standing under the dim light with her skirt in hand on the screen.

The others present turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was like a goddess of the night.

The male celebrities were stunned.

The alarm in the hearts of the female celebrities rang.

Every red carpet and ceremony was the best PK venue for celebrities to fight over. What they wore and whether they looked good or not would be compared online.

The female celebrities who were still thinking of how to post suddenly lost their confidence when they saw this little celebrity who had appeared out of nowhere.

Ruan Yingyu looked enviously at Xia Wanyuan, who had become the center of attention. The hatred in her eyes was so thick that it could not be dissipated.

After finding the location of the production team, Qin Wu and the others looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was slowly walking over, in a daze. “Sit here.” Qin Wu stood up and made way for her.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan sat down. The ceremony was about to begin.

The host invited the guest winners one by one and the Best Actor and Best Actress went on stage to receive the award.

The production team of “The Long Ballad” was a potential IP award for a team. No award-winning actor went on stage alone.

However, the director seemed to understand everyone’s thoughts very well. He made the camera constantly scan the location of the production team of “The Long Ballad”. Although Xia Wanyuan did not win an award, as an audience, she had more screen time than many people who had won an award.

The time for the ceremony was usually very long. After two to three hours, the people on the scene began to feel a little tired. However, no matter when the camera switched to Xia Wanyuan, she was as elegant and calm as ever.

Xia Wanyuan had always been listening intently. This ceremony was the best way to help her quickly sort out the current situation in the entertainment industry. Hence, Xia Wanyuan found this rather boring award ceremony very interesting.

Three and a half hours later, the ceremony finally ended. It was the first time they had reunited since the filming had ended.

Director Yang immediately suggested that everyone gather and take a photo.

Upon hearing Director Yang’s suggestion, Ruan Yingyu looked at Xia Wanyuan with a ruthless glint in her eyes.

Chapter 237: The Princess Is Drunk, Master Jun Wants to Cry

Although it was called a gathering, it was actually just a simple dessert and supper. Everyone could chat and take photos together.

After all, this was a ceremony and everyone was dressed up.

Especially for actresses, the dresses they wore were all rather expensive. One of them could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. Furthermore, many of these dresses did not belong to them. They had borrowed them from brands.

Although the clothes on the male actors were lighter than evening gowns with oversized skirts, they were still expensive.

Hong’an Hotel, which was beside the Hong’an auditorium, was only a few steps away. It was undoubtedly the best place for everyone.

Director Yang brought everyone to the restaurant and booked a private room. There were eleven people, and they sat at the same table.

“Director, I’m going to the bathroom.” When they arrived at the private room, Director Yang was chatting with everyone when Ruan Yingyu walked out the door.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Ruan Yingyu, who was struggling to move forward with the hem of her dress, and raised an eyebrow.

“It’s been a long time since we wrapped up filming.” Director Yang was a little emotional. “The reason why the drama ‘The Long Ballad’ could achieve such results today is all thanks to everyone’s hard work.”

“Director Yang, you’re the best.”

“Thank you, everyone. After filming this drama, although we will still be in the same industry in the future, I’m afraid there will be very few opportunities to meet. It’s also rare for us to gather like today. Everyone, take care of yourselves in the future.”

After Director Yang finished speaking, he pulled everyone to take a photo together.

“Director Yang, Ruan Yingyu isn’t back yet.” Just as he finished speaking, Ruan Yingyu appeared at the door.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Ruan Yingyu smiled apologetically and hurriedly sat down.

“Come, waiter, bring the wine glasses over. After everyone drinks this dish, we will have to throw away the journey of ‘The Long Ballad’ and walk towards the updated road.”

As Director Yang spoke, the waiter at the side began to distribute the fruit wine on the plate.

Starting from Director Yang, they distributed the drinks one by one. When it came to Xia Wanyuan, there were only two glasses left on the plate. Sitting beside Xia Wanyuan was Ruan Yingyu.

The waiter nervously reached for the wine on the plate. However, for some reason, his wrist lost strength and the plate fell. Xia Wanyuan reached out to help catch it.

“Be careful.” Xia Wanyuan smiled faintly, making the waiter blush.

“Miss, this is your wine.” The waiter placed the fruit wine in front of Xia Wanyuan with a flushed face and placed the remaining glass in front of Ruan Yingyu.

“Here, cheers.” Director Yang raised his glass and everyone clinked glasses.

With a click, the camera recorded the moment the production team gathered.

In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan’s alcohol tolerance was excellent. After drinking, she neither blushed nor drank. Hence, Xia Wanyuan drank the entire glass of fruit wine.

Ruan Yingyu watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan finished the wine in her cup. A look of victory flashed across her eyes. She picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip of the wine.

After drinking, Director Yang chatted with everyone for a while. It was almost 11 o’clock.

Initially, everyone did not think much of it. Now that they had really parted, an indescribable bitterness surged in their hearts.

Qin Wu secretly glanced at Xia Wanyuan, his eyes filled with bitterness.

“Hopefully we’ll meet again.” Director Yang cupped his hands at everyone and left the room.

Xia Wanyuan held her skirt and slowly walked out the door.

“It’s getting late. Wanyuan, why don’t I send you back?” Qin Wu hesitated before following Xia Wanyuan and asking.

“Thank you for your kindness, but my manager and the rest are waiting for me.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. If Qin Wu sent me off, we would probably be on the headlines tomorrow.

“Okay, then you, be careful and have a good rest tonight.” Qin Wu held back for a long time and didn’t know what to say. He could only say a few words of concern. However, on second thought, Xia Wanyuan had a boyfriend. Wasn’t my concern unnecessary? He immediately felt a little annoyed.

“Thank you for your concern.” Xia Wanyuan felt his kindness and immediately thanked Qin Wu seriously.

Seeing the seriousness in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Qin Wu’s heart was happy and sour.

She was too good. So good that even if she didn’t like me, I still feel that she is a very good person.

Qin Wu was about to say something when a black Phantom suddenly honked.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and looked, her eyes filled with smiles. “Someone’s here to pick me up. I’ll get going first. Goodbye.” Then, she walked towards the black car.

When Qin Wu saw the hint of a warm smile in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, his heart had already turned cold. He could only stand on the spot and watch Xia Wanyuan leave sadly.

Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan had a ceremony today, so he didn’t go home directly after work. He watched the live broadcast of the ceremony in his office and estimated that it was almost over, so he came to pick her up.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would see Xia Wanyuan smiling at Qin Wu? Jun Shiling’s heart instantly felt as if it had been soaked in Old Chen’s vinegar for thirty years, sour and angry.

However, looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a starry dress and slowly walking over under the moonlight, Jun Shiling felt that the anger in his heart had been suppressed.

“Why are you here?” The chauffeur opened the door for Xia Wanyuan, who sat in and took the teacup from Jun Shiling before taking a sip of hot tea.

“It’s too late, it’s not safe,” Jun Shiling replied calmly, then instructed the chauffeur, “Let’s go.”

“Okay, Master Jun.”

Sitting in the warm carriage, without the clarity of the night breeze, Xia Wanyuan felt her mind begin to turn chaotic. The aftertaste of the cup of fruit wine began to kick in.

Xia Wanyuan felt that her limbs were a little weak, and her face gradually flushed red from being drunk.

In her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had a good alcohol tolerance, so she drank a large glass of wine without worry.

However, what she did not know was that the original owner of the body could not hold her liquor well. The night the original owner of the body died of alcohol poisoning, she only drank three glasses.

Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Jun Shiling leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

Caught off guard, he felt a moist and warm breath on his neck. A pair of warm arms wrapped around his waist.

Jun Shiling opened his eyes abruptly and saw Xia Wanyuan wrapped around him. His throat tightened. “Xia Wanyuan?”

After the previous lesson, the chauffeur had learned his lesson. The moment he sensed something amiss, he raised the partition between the front and back seats.

Hehe, I didn’t see anything this time.

Xia Wanyuan, who had already fallen into a deep stupor, only wanted to hug her pillow and sleep.

But why did this pillow not feel too soft? Am I wrong? Xia Wanyuan’s hand slowly groped around.

That pair of soft hands slowly touched his chest from his waist and slid down again. Just as it was about to cross his waist and continue moving down, Jun Shiling’s entire body was already tensed up.

“Xia Wanyuan!” Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s hand and lifted her chin. He saw a blur of drunkenness in her eyes.

The fragrance of the fruit wine wafted out of her nose, and her red lips were as alluring as the most delicious cherry.

Chapter 238: Sweet and Sweet

Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened, and he gently patted Xia Wanyuan’s arm. “Are you okay?”

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not react, Jun Shiling approached her slightly and could smell the obvious fragrance of alcohol. Jun Shiling frowned. He guessed that Xia Wanyuan was extremely drunk.

Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan’s chin and wanted to get a wet wipe for her.

However, the drunk Xia Wanyuan did not realize that as soon as Jun Shiling let go, Xia Wanyuan’s head tilted. Jun Shiling could only reach out to support the back of her head.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan’s head was lying in Jun Shiling’s large hand, making her face look especially petite and fair. She tilted her head slightly and pouted her pink lips, looking very obedient.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan lying obediently in his palm, Jun Shiling’s heart stirred. His fiery gaze swept across Xia Wanyuan’s face inch by inch. If Xia Wanyuan was awake, she would realize that the warmth in his gaze seemed to want to burn her to ashes.

After a long time, Jun Shiling sighed.

She’s drunk and unconscious.

Jun Shiling kept reminding himself.

Finally, he barely suppressed the raging fire in his heart. Jun Shiling supported her head and let her lean on his shoulder. His hand wrapped around her waist to hold her still.

As if he had finally calmed down, Jun Shiling loosened his tie and finally relaxed a little.

But not long after, Xia Wanyuan frowned again.

The aftertaste of the wine was strong, and waves of heat attacked her. Xia Wanyuan only wanted to find a cool place to lean on.

Jun Shiling had just heaved a sigh of relief when Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved.

The two of them were originally very close to each other. Xia Wanyuan’s proud chest was pressed against Jun Shiling’s body. In just a moment, it evoked Jun Shiling’s soaring flames.

Xia Wanyuan’s hand was released. She hugged Jun Shiling’s waist and groped around unconsciously.

Her red lips pressed against Jun Shiling’s ear. “It’s so hot.”

Jun Shiling gritted his teeth. At that moment, there was no warmth in his eyes, but they seemed even more unfathomable. He raised Xia Wanyuan’s face and stared into her blurred eyes.

“Who am I?” Jun Shiling asked, his voice extremely hoarse.

Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at it, but did not respond.

“Who am I?” Jun Shiling asked again, as if he had to get an answer.

Xia Wanyuan could faintly see a familiar blurry figure in front of her. The tip of her nose was filled with the cold pine fragrance she was used to every day.

Isn’t this easy to guess? Xia Wanyuan tilted her head and seemed to smile smugly. The light in her eyes was even more dazzling than the galaxy that filled her skirt.

“Jun Shiling,” Xia Wanyuan said softly. Just as she finished speaking, the cold pine fragrance flooded towards her.

The drunk Xia Wanyuan was extremely obedient. Furthermore, due to her unconscious trust in this cold pine fragrance, not only did Xia Wanyuan not dodge, but she also obediently hugged Jun Shiling in front of her, leaning her entire body softly into Jun Shiling’s arms.

Jun Shiling, who was still tasting the cherry, became agitated by her entrustment. He gave up on the sweet cherry and knocked Xia Wanyuan’s teeth open.

Like a king surveying his territory, Jun Shiling swept across every corner of Xia Wanyuan’s mouth with great aggression.

Bite, grind, sweep…

In a daze, Xia Wanyuan only felt that the tip of her tongue was numb and somewhat thirsty. She subconsciously stuck out her tongue. The invading force stopped for a moment, then became agitated, as if it was ten times fiercer than before.

After a long time, Jun Shiling finally used all his self-control to retreat from the sweet fragrance when he sensed that Xia Wanyuan could not breathe.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was lying limply in Jun Shiling’s hand. Her bright red lips were slightly swollen. Her lipstick had dropped a lot, but the beautiful bright red color did not fade at all. She was like a fiery red rose that had been drenched in the rain, exuding a tender but charming charm.

Xia Wanyuan, who had her eyes closed, restrained the coldness in her eyes. Her long eyelashes drooped. It was unknown what she had dreamed of, but the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She consciously rubbed against Jun Shiling’s hand to find a suitable position.

Jun Shiling stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan for a while before suddenly laughing. “How easy to bully.”

Thousands of stars flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes with the deepest indulgence and the most gentle smile. The orchid trees and the snow turned into streams of light. Unfortunately, no one could see such a magnificent scene.

He tucked Xia Wanyuan’s hair behind her ear and gently pulled her away. Xia Wanyuan consciously hugged Jun Shiling’s waist and leaned her head obediently in Jun Shiling’s arms. She finally quieted down.

Jun Shiling lowered his head and looked at Xia Wanyuan, who trusted him wholeheartedly. His eyes were warm. “Stupid woman.”

The car finally arrived at the manor, but the chauffeur did not dare to get out of the car and open the door. He waited in the driver’s seat while trembling.

As a professional chauffeur, he knew that he could not disturb the feelings between men and women! After all, he needs the golden rice bowl of the Jun family.

However, not long after he stopped the car, Jun Shiling knocked on the partition. The chauffeur hurriedly got out of the car and saw that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were dressed normally. A strange look of regret flashed across the chauffeur’s eyes.

Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan and walked into the house. The servants hurriedly welcomed him.

Go and tidy up the secondary bedroom.” Xia Wanyuan had drunk alcohol and was not suitable to sleep with Jun Yin.

By the time Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan to the secondary bedroom, the room had already been tidied up by the servants. Jun Shiling placed Xia Wanyuan on the bed and waited by the side for the servants to change into her pajamas.

After dismissing the servant, Jun Shiling pulled the blanket over and covered her with it. After quietly watching Xia Wanyuan sleep obediently, Jun Shiling got up and prepared to sleep with Xiao Bao in the master bedroom.

However, just as he turned around, someone grabbed his arm. Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan pinching his sleeve.

“You didn’t let me leave.” Jun Shiling laughed. The drunk Xia Wanyuan seemed especially clingy.

Just as he pulled open the blanket and lay down, Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s waist tightly. Her head automatically found the best position to lie in Jun Shiling’s arms.

A smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. He hugged Xia Wanyuan completely in his arms. The blanket was warm, and their bodies’ warmth seeped into each other through the thin clothes.

Jun Shiling reached out to turn off the light. Xia Wanyuan, who had suddenly fallen into darkness, leaned even closer to Jun Shiling.

Although the lights were off, Jun Shiling could imagine Xia Wanyuan’s obedient and soft appearance. His heart melted.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Xia Wanyuan on the forehead, drawing her closer to him.

“Why are you so easy to bully?” Jun Shiling leaned into Xia Wanyuan’s ear and smiled, but he did not do anything else. He hugged Xia Wanyuan and fell asleep peacefully.

Chapter 239: Waking Up in the Morning

The morning breeze carried the smell of clear lotus on the lake as it blew into the bedroom on the second floor, bringing with it a hint of clear coolness.

The sunlight shone through the French windows and shone on her feet. Sensing the heat, Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.

……..

It was a familiar scene. Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. As expected, she was hugging Jun Shiling’s waist tightly again. The two of them were extremely close. She could even clearly feel Jun Shiling’s normal reaction in the morning.

Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red. She slowly retracted her hand and stepped back.

This action woke Jun Shiling up.

Jun Shiling seemed to have had a bad sleep. His eyes were still bloodshot.

“You’re awake?” Jun Shiling, who had just woken up, had a low and magnetic voice. It was like an electric current that exploded in Xia Wanyuan’s ears, making her heart tingle.

“You… I…” Xia Wanyuan stammered for once. Suddenly, she thought of something. She lowered her head and saw that she was wearing pajamas. Wasn’t I wearing a gown last night?!

“Nanny Li helped you change your clothes,” Jun Shiling said when he sensed Xia Wanyuan’s panic.

“Then what about us?”

“You forgot?” A hint of a smile flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes, but his expression was extremely serious. “You were drunk yesterday. I carried you back, but you held onto me and didn’t let go. I wanted to go and sleep with Jun Yin. When I let go, you looked so wronged that it was as if you were going to cry.”

??

There was obvious doubt in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. Did I really do that?

However, Jun Shiling’s expression was extremely serious. Furthermore, Jun Shiling had always been a man of his word in Xia Wanyuan’s heart. There was no need for him to lie to her.

Xia Wanyuan’s expression turned even more rosy. “I’m sorry, I was drunk and didn’t know.”

“It’s okay. Can I get up now?” Xia Wanyuan lowered her head, so she could not see. At that moment, Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with a smile.

“Get up. Why are you asking me?”

“I was afraid you would still need a pillow.” As Jun Shiling thought, Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red.

“Leave quickly.” The cold pine fragrance from Jun Shiling surrounded her, making Xia Wanyuan feel uneasy. Furthermore, she did not need to look up to know that Jun Shiling must be smiling teasingly. Xia Wanyuan felt embarrassed.

I won’t drink anymore next time. I must change the habit of hugging something when I sleep.

“Then sleep a little more.” Jun Shiling stopped teasing Xia Wanyuan and lifted the blanket to get up.

Jun Shiling had left, but the aura around him was still there. Taking a gentle breath, the air was filled with the fragrance of pine. Xia Wanyuan had failed to fall asleep.

After washing up, Jun Shiling was eating breakfast downstairs when Xia Wanyuan went downstairs.

“Why don’t you sleep a little more? Do you have work today?” Jun Shiling had thought that Xia Wanyuan needed to sleep again.

“I can’t sleep.” Jun Shiling’s question reminded Xia Wanyuan of the cold pine scent that had lingered on the bed just now. Then, she couldn’t help but think of the heat she had felt in Jun Shiling’s arms in the morning.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed again.

Jun Shiling handed Xia Wanyuan a pair of chopsticks and looked up to see the blush on her face. Seeing how awkward she was, Jun Shiling’s lips curled up.

Chapter 240: Sweet and Adorable

“Let’s eat.” Jun Shiling restrained the smile in his eyes and interacted with Xia Wanyuan very naturally.

“Okay.”

Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks, but she felt uneasy. For some reason, she felt that the pine fragrance on Jun Shiling was especially obvious today.

In the past, Xia Wanyuan rarely noticed the perfume Jun Shiling used, but today, she felt that the scent was especially rich. Xia Wanyuan could not help but look up at Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling, who was dressed in a suit, was sitting on a chair and eating breakfast. The cuffs on his wrists were tightly tied, making him look flat and abstinent. His originally handsome facial features softened a little under the morning sun.

His cold and arrogant temperament remained upright even while eating.

“Am I good-looking?” Jun Shiling swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge and suddenly looked at Xia Wanyuan.

“Huh?” Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was staring at Jun Shiling.

Xia Wanyuan could not explain why she was staring at Jun Shiling in a daze. She could only nod and brace herself. “Yes.”

Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with smiles. “Not as good-looking as you.” When he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough and added, “You were very beautiful at the ceremony last night.”

He was telling the truth. He worked in the company and had no time to see her dressed in the manor. Like the people in the comments, the moment Xia Wanyuan appeared, his breathing paused.

Xia Wanyuan, who was wrapped in the galaxy, was so beautiful that it made one’s heart tremble.

“En, thank you.”

Xia Wanyuan was unmoved by the countless praises she had received yesterday.

However, hearing these words from Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel somewhat embarrassed. There was even a hint of hidden joy in the depths of her heart.

“Then why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry? You were drunk yesterday. Drink some warm milk.” Jun Shiling carefully placed the custard bun on the table in Xia Wanyuan’s bowl and handed the milk to her.

For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt a little confused, but she was in a turmoil. She did not know where to start, but when she reached out to receive the warm milk from Jun Shiling, she accidentally touched his hand.

Jun Shiling was stunned, and so was Xia Wanyuan. She hurriedly retracted her hand.

Then, Jun Shiling placed the food in front of Xia Wanyuan as if nothing had happened. He did not disturb Xia Wanyuan anymore and let her eat quietly.

The first meal after a hangover had to be eaten properly.

According to Jun Shiling’s usual habits, he would have gone to the company by this time, but Jun Shiling was not in a hurry to leave today.

Instead, he sat quietly by the side and watched Xia Wanyuan eat.

Even Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in front of the battlefield that was filled with corpses, could eat her meal without a change in expression. For some reason, she could not eat under Jun Shiling’s gaze.

Swallowing a custard bun with difficulty, Xia Wanyuan finally could not help but look at Jun Shiling. “Why are you looking at me?”

“You’re pretty,” Jun Shiling said extremely seriously, but he could not help but smile. “Do you only allow yourself to look at me but I can’t look at you?”

Xia Wanyuan was momentarily speechless by Jun Shiling’s words, but she found it difficult to swallow when Jun Shiling looked at her like this.

A moment later, under Jun Shiling’s surprised gaze, Xia Wanyuan got the servant to bring the tray of food upstairs to the bedroom.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s flustered back, Jun Shiling’s heart softened.

Too cute, I want to hug her but I can’t.

Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart.
