Chapter 251: An Estrangement

This time, Xia Wanyuan held onto the handrail tightly.

Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan carefully from behind as she was afraid that she would fall again, and the corners of his lips curled up.

After Xia Wanyuan left, Jun Shiling swam alone in the hall for half an hour before leaving.

Xia Wanyuan took a shower and changed her clothes. She sat on the sofa and switched on the television.

Once the screen was turned on, the handsome male lead was kissing the female lead’s face.

……..

Xia Wanyuan switched channels. Mm, the male and female lead were getting married. When she switched channels, the male and female lead were rolling on the sofa.

The temperature on Xia Wanyuan’s face suddenly rose, and she abruptly switched off the television. What is wrong with television dramas nowadays? Can they put something else aside from love?

Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of what Jun Shiling had just said. She took out her phone and searched for it. “Girl close her eyes.” Then, a row of relevant answers appeared.

“When a girl closes her eyes, she’s waiting for someone to kiss her.”

“When a girl closes her eyes, she’s hinting to you.”

“When a girl closes her eyes, it means she wants to flirt with you.”

………..

Xia Wanyuan held her forehead helplessly. Do modern people have such a custom????

Is closing your eyes considered flirting?

Did Jun Shiling really think that I wanted to seduce him just now? Was that why he kissed me?

As she was feeling conflicted, Jun Shiling had already walked towards her. He very naturally took the hairdryer by the side and stood behind Xia Wanyuan to blow dry her hair.

Xia Wanyuan did not realize that she had slowly gotten used to not blow dry her hair after showering. In any case, Jun Shiling would blow dry her hair for her.

In the living room, only the sound of wind blowing could be heard. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling didn’t speak.

After her hair was dried, Jun Shiling was about to go upstairs to work when Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped him.

“Jun Shiling.”

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks and sat opposite Xia Wanyuan.

“That wasn’t what I meant just now.”

“What do you mean?” There was a smile in Jun Shiling’s eyes.

“I didn’t mean to seduce you. I read online that men might be more impulsive.”

Xia Wanyuan was very tolerant of many things in the modern world, but she was still a little shy when it came to matters of passion between men and women. As she spoke, her face began to blush. “I don’t want you to misunderstand. Don’t do this again in the future.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling’s gaze was deep, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Seeing that Jun Shiling only answered briefly, Xia Wanyuan was afraid that Jun Shiling wouldn’t believe her, so she added,

“If you need someone, you can find someone you like. Anyway, there’s still a month left and our relationship will be over. I won’t…”

Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that she wouldn’t stop him or mind if he went to look for other women casually. However, deep down, when she thought of the scene of Jun Shiling hugging other women, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn’t care about that.

“Am I that lacking in women?” Jun Shiling’s eyes, which were still smiling but darkened when he heard Xia Wanyuan’s words.

Jun Shiling’s heart sank. He had thought that Xia Wanyuan’s lack of resistance represented a good signal, but Xia Wanyuan’s words had poured cold water on him.

She clearly did not resist his approach. He thought that she had some feelings for him, but she could actually say so calmly that she did not mind him finding someone else.

“That’s not what I meant.” Xia Wanyuan could not describe what she was feeling. She felt a little confused.

She had always been calm and composed. This flustered and somewhat bitter emotion made her feel unfamiliar. After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, she did not know what else to say.

Chapter 252: Awkward

The room fell silent.

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“Alright, I’m going upstairs to work. Call me if there’s anything.” Jun Shiling had finally returned to his gentle appearance. There was no change in his eyes, but Xia Wanyuan did not feel very happy. Instead, she felt a strange sense of loss.

For a moment just now, Jun Shiling wanted to ask Xia Wanyuan directly if she could not divorce him, if she could stay by his side, if she could like him a little.

However, Jun Shiling restrained himself in the end.

He had never been afraid of doing a business worth tens of billions. This was because he could calculate the profits of the business through precise calculations and powerful logical ability. Even if there was a 50% risk, he could rely on his own ability to contain this risk.

However, facing Xia Wanyuan, he did not even dare to take a 0.01% risk. He was afraid that once he spoke, there would be no turning back.

Xia Wanyuan watched television downstairs with mixed emotions. It was already time to sleep, but Xia Wanyuan had not gone upstairs.

Xiao Bao was still in the courtyard and had not returned. There were only two people left in the main building. What had always seemed normal in the past made Xia Wanyuan inexplicably panic today.

“Madam, it’s time to go up and sleep.” Nanny Li walked over.

“Where’s Jun Shiling?”

“Young Master is already sleeping in the secondary bedroom.” Nanny Li looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly. Could it be that the two of them had a fight?

“Mm, got it.” Xia Wanyuan switched off the television and walked upstairs.

Xia Wanyuan had always had a good sleep quality, but today, she was very surprised to lose sleep.

Without Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling’s bed, the space was especially large. Xia Wanyuan rolled around on the bed and smelled the familiar scent of pine.

This smell made Xia Wanyuan involuntarily recall the scene when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance in the pool today. Jun Shiling’s heavy breathing seemed to spray beside her ear, and that gentle and aggressive possessiveness kept repeating in her mind.

In the darkness, Xia Wanyuan blushed.

As she thought about some random things, Xia Wanyuan gradually fell asleep. In her sleep, it was as if the cold pine fragrance made her feel at ease. Xia Wanyuan rolled towards the place where Jun Shiling usually slept. It was only when she was surrounded by the pine fragrance that Xia Wanyuan’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed and fell into her sweet dream.

Jun Shiling, who was next door, could only endure the fatigue and spend the night sleepless.

The next morning, Jun Shiling poured milk for Xia Wanyuan and picked up her favorite food for her as usual, but he was extremely restrained and polite.

It was clearly the same action, but Xia Wanyuan clearly felt a barrier between her and Jun Shiling.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say. The two of them could only finish breakfast in silence.

“Are you going to work later? I’ll drive you,” Jun Shiling finally said.

“Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The atmosphere froze again.

Until they got into the car, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling didn’t speak much.

Hence, the Jun Corporation was enveloped in a low atmosphere today. The executives who came and went were afraid that they had to be ordered by Jun Shiling, so they would only appear in front of Jun Shiling and not go.

All sorts of statistical accounts on the Internet were very active today. Because Xie Rou’s album, which was called “The Light of Domestic Music,” had obtained first place on all the major rankings, this had not happened in a long time.

Xie Rou’s fans were also extremely active and arrogant, talking about this matter everywhere.

Chapter 253: Change in the Company Industry

[ There’s no need to leave comments everywhere, right? ]

[ Everyone is saying that Xie Rou’s song is the light of country music. The lyrics and melody are pretty good, but Xie Rou’s voice can’t keep up. ]

[ The person in front, if you can do it, why aren’t you popular? Why are you so jealous? Xie Rou was the first in the album category yesterday. Who are you? Did you surpass her results? Pfft, if you say that Xie Rou’s voice isn’t good, who are you? ]

[ Fans, aren’t you too arrogant? Do you really think you’re the light of the country after praising you a little? ]

[ I originally thought that Xie Rou’s song was quite nice. The fans really lost favor and flooded the screen. ]

Although there were some comments that felt that Xie Rou’s voice was not good enough for the lyrics and melody, they were suppressed by the overwhelming army of comments. There were only praises for Xie Rou on Weibo.

As Xie Rou’s popularity increased, Summer Wind Studio could not hold back anymore. They wanted to post Xia Wanyuan’s new album, but they were stopped by Tang Yin.

“Miss Tang, are we just going to watch the other party make so much money?” Chen Can did not know why Tang Yin kept delaying him from releasing the album.

“Just wait. I heard that Star Creation Entertainment has been signing a large number of endorsements and promotions for Xie Rou these two days. Let’s wait until they’re done signing them.” Tang Yin looked at the computer and saw all sorts of praises for Xie Rou. Her red lips curled up slightly. If she fell high enough, she would fall badly.

When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the company, Shen Qian was already waiting for her at the door.

Shen Qian was a very opinionated and capable person. He wouldn’t look for Xia Wanyuan for ordinary matters, but once he looked for Xia Wanyuan, it would definitely be an extremely important matter.

After bringing Xia Wanyuan into the office, Shen Qian placed a document in front of her.

“The Xia family used to mainly work in the real estate industry. In recent years, the real estate industry has not been doing well. I’ve discussed with others and hope to open a new industry line in the main industry and gradually reform the company. Here are a few proposals. Take a look first.”

Taking the document from Shen Qian, Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously. Shen Qian waited at the side and couldn’t help but want to investigate Xia Wanyuan.

Even though he had been in the sea of business for nearly ten years and had seen many storms, he still felt that Xia Wanyuan was unfathomable.

“What’s everyone’s opinion?” Xia Wanyuan read very quickly. She basically flipped through the pages and finished reading the entire text in an instant.

Those who didn’t know would think that she was putting on a show, but in the previous meeting, Shen Qian had already experienced Xia Wanyuan’s power.

“The opinion of most of them is the first plan. To enter the Internet industry. Now that the Internet industry is popular, there are still many places to dig. The profits are also large, and it’s easier to do.”

“What about you? I want to hear your opinion.” Xia Wanyuan closed the document and looked at Shen Qian.

“Personally, I’m more inclined to the last plan to do the cultural industry. But currently, only I think that this industry can be done, and the other shareholders don’t agree.”

“Tell me your reason.”

“The domestic cultural industry has always been very weak. It can be said that it has basically not taken shape. However, our country itself is a country with an extremely deep cultural foundation. Over the years, the country has also strongly advocated for development of the cultural industry. It’s just that we haven’t been able to do it. But I think that as the economic strength of the country increases, the culture will sooner or later be valued in this aspect…”

“I agree with you.”

Shen Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. He originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was just asking out of politeness. After all, basically all the shareholders agreed to the Internet industry’s proposal. This was the easiest industry to establish and the fastest way to earn money.

“Just do it. I believe in you.” Xia Wanyuan nodded at Shen Qian affirmatively.

Chapter 254: The Princess Is Jealous

“Okay.” From Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Shen Qian saw firm trust. As a subordinate, there was nothing more motivating than this trust.

Shen Qian already had some preliminary thoughts in his mind. He communicated these thoughts with Xia Wanyuan, who gave him a lot of advice and inspiration.

“Then that’s it. Just do it boldly.” Xia Wanyuan roughly understood Shen Qian’s train of thought and increasingly felt that he was a useful talent.

“Okay, thank you for your trust, Director Xia. I’ll send you out.” Although Shen Qian was much older than Xia Wanyuan, his respect for her came from the bottom of his heart.

“CEO Shen, there’s a Miss with the surname Wang looking for you outside.” The secretary appeared at the door.

Xia Wanyuan could clearly feel Shen Qian’s expression stiffen.

“Director Xia, I’ll take you out first.”

Xia Wanyuan picked up her bag and Shen Qian followed her out.

At the office door, a young woman was in a deadlock with her secretary. She was wearing sunglasses that covered half her face, but one could still tell that she had a pretty face.

“What right do you have to stop me?” Wang Ya wanted to rush into Shen Qian’s office, but she was stopped by the secretary.

The office door opened and Shen Qian walked out. When she saw the familiar thin figure, surprise flashed across Wang Ya’s eyes. “Ah Qian.”

However, Shen Qian ignored her and stood aside after pulling the door open. He welcomed a tall and slender woman. Wang Ya watched in a daze as Shen Qian brought the woman to the elevator and even sent her into it considerately.

“Shen Qian, tell me. Who is she?!” Jealousy flashed across Wang Ya’s eyes as she ran towards Shen Qian.

“Stop her.” However, Shen Qian, who always agreed to her requests, did not even allow her to get close this time.

“Shen Qian, I was wrong. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” Seeing Shen Qian’s cold expression, Wang Ya, who wanted to act coquettishly and win him back as usual, panicked.

“If you don’t want to expose your identity, continue screaming. Come and find me again and I’ll expose you. Isn’t that what you’re most afraid of?”

As expected, when she heard Shen Qian say this, Wang Ya immediately shut her mouth.

Shen Qian looked at Wang Ya mockingly. As expected, her nature didn’t change.

Shen Qian turned around resolutely. “Take her away. Don’t let this person enter the company again.” Even though his tone was cold, Shen Qian’s heart was in extreme pain.

After all, she was his lover who had accompanied him for nearly five years. He had also doted on her in the past. It was impossible for him not to be heartbroken after reaching this point.

Wang Ya was chased out of the company by the secretary. She put on her mask and looked around. She was relieved when she realized that no one was paying attention to her. However, when she thought of Shen Qian, her heart was filled with unwillingness.

That was my man. Even if I didn’t want him anymore, I can’t let another woman snatch him away!

After leaving the Xia family company, Xia Wanyuan went to the apartment and personally prepared some food and changed clothes before heading to the Jun Corporation.

The atmosphere in the morning was awkward, so Xia Wanyuan did not greet Jun Shiling and prepared to go upstairs herself.

Every time she came, she would take the CEO’s private elevator up. Hence, this time, she carried the lunch box and walked straight to the private elevator. However, she did not expect to see someone standing in front of the elevator.

An extremely beautiful woman in a black dress with suspenders exuded a different kind of charm and charm. Seeing someone approach, this person glanced arrogantly at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan pressed the elevator button and waited by the side.

“Pfft, Brother Shiling’s company really allows any cats and dogs to enter.”

“Hey, where did you come from? This is the CEO’s private elevator. You’re not allowed to use this. Go away.” The bodyguard behind the woman in the black dress stood beside Xia Wanyuan, looking as if he wanted to chase her away.

Xia Wanyuan frowned and glanced at the woman in the black dress.

From the way she addressed Jun Shiling, the two of them seemed to be very familiar?

Xia Wanyuan, who had originally wanted to deliver food to Jun Shiling, suddenly lost her mood. Her heart felt an unnatural bitterness, and she turnedaround to leave with the lunch box.

“Do you even need to report such things? Block all the women who come to look for Master Jun, and don’t let go of the elevator.” The secretary received a call from the front desk for no reason.

‘Is the front desk of the Jun Corporation going to be changed? What’s the use of leaving a receptionist who can’t even understand such things here? Is she going to be a fortune cat?’

“No, Secretary Li. I think one of the two women is wearing sunglasses and a mask. From her figure, she looks like the one CEO Jun went to pick up last time,” the young lady at the front desk said with a shiver.

“What? Wait a minute, I’ll report to Assistant Lin immediately.”

After receiving the news, Lin Jing immediately went downstairs and intercepted Xia Wanyuan, who was about to leave.

“Lin Jing, what’s wrong with the elevator? I’m in a hurry to see Brother Shiling.” The woman in the black dress saw Lin Jing arrive and brushed her hair impatiently. “Open the elevator quickly.”

“Miss Zheng, this is reserved for the CEO. You can only enter after President Jun permits it.” Lin Jing had his usual standard smile.

“Do I need permission to go up?” Zheng Fei’s eyes were filled with anger. With her background, wherever she went, she would be flattered. Now, she was already very impatient to make her wait for so long. In the end, even a mere special assistant had to order her around.

“Since you said you’re familiar with CEO Jun, you can give him a call. As long as he agrees.”

Zheng Fei subconsciously wanted to take out her phone, but she suddenly recalled that she did not seem to have Jun Shiling’s number. She immediately felt embarrassed.

Lin Jing did not want to talk to her anymore. He turned and looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Come up with me.”

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Zheng Fei’s ugly expression. She had originally planned to leave directly, but thinking of how arrogant this woman in the black dress was just now, she still decided.

She would only leave after angering her.

Zheng Fei wanted to argue further when she saw Lin Jing bring Xia Wanyuan into the elevator.

“She…” Zheng Fei widened her eyes and pointed at Xia Wanyuan angrily.

“It looks like you’re not as good as cats and dogs.” Xia Wanyuan’s cold voice sounded, making Zheng Fei so angry that her face flushed red. She could not even maintain her elegant bearing.

“That person just now is the younger daughter of the Zheng family in Beijing. CEO Jun has only seen Zheng Fei twice. She has always claimed to have a high status and wanted to get close to CEO Jun. CEO Jun has never bothered with her.”

Lin Jing carefully explained from the side. Xia Wanyuan hummed in response. Lin Jing could not tell if Xia Wanyuan was angry.

Jun Shiling had also received a report from the secretary. Zheng family? A cold glint flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. He knew very well what the Zheng family was up to.

The person opened the office door without knocking.

“Get out.”

Jun Shiling signed the documents on the table and said without looking up.

The last time Zheng Fei had barged into Jun Shiling’s office, Jun Shiling had immediately changed the guard at the front desk. It seemed like he was going to change again.

“Mm,” the person replied softly and turned to leave.

When Jun Shiling heard this voice, he immediately looked up.

Chapter 255: The Princess is Angry, Master Jun is Confused

Even from behind, Jun Shiling instantly recognized Xia Wanyuan.

“Don’t go.” Jun Shiling put down the documents in his hand, hurriedly stood up, strode to the door, and grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s wrist.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling’s hand that was holding hers, and he immediately let go of her.

“Aren’t you very busy? I won’t disturb you anymore.” As Xia Wanyuan spoke, there was a hint of anger that she did not realize.

“I’m not busy. Come in.” Jun Shiling took the lunch box from Xia Wanyuan and welcomed her in.

Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and removed her glasses and mask. Jun Shiling acutely sensed the coldness on Xia Wanyuan’s face and was puzzled. Who had provoked her?

“How was your trip to the company today?” Jun Shiling probed.

“Pretty good.”

Alright, now Jun Shiling was certain who had angered Xia Wanyuan.

Normally, Xia Wanyuan would share what she had encountered in the company with him and seek his advice. Now that she had only said two words, she must be angry.

“Come, let’s eat.” Jun Shiling arranged the food and handed the chopsticks to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks and ate without a word.

Picking up a piece of pork rib, Jun Shiling’s eyes warmed. “You cooked it.”

“Mm,” Xia Wanyuan replied.

As usual, Jun Shiling picked up Xia Wanyuan’s favorite food and placed it in her bowl while he ate what she didn’t like.

“Miss Zheng, you can’t go in.” It was noisy outside the office. Xia Wanyuan suddenly stopped eating.

“Get out of my way. I’m CEO Jun’s childhood sweetheart. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?”

Zheng Fei’s family was extremely powerful, and she was surrounded by people wherever she went. She had never been stopped before, so she immediately got the bodyguards to move the secretary away.

Just as she was about to enter Jun Shiling’s office, the door suddenly opened and Jun Shiling appeared at the door with a fierce aura. Zheng Fei’s eyes lit up. “Brother Shiling, I’m the younger sister of the Zheng family. You servants are so unruly. How dare they stop me?”

Jun Shiling glanced at her coldly, took out his phone, and made a call.

“If you can’t control your own people, I don’t mind sending her to Prison 7.”

Without waiting for a reply, Jun Shiling hung up the phone. At that moment, Lin Jing came up with the security team.

“Send them to the police station and tell Director Liu to do things impartially,” Jun Shiling instructed before turning to leave.

“Brother Shiling!” Zheng Fei looked at the cold Jun Shiling in surprise. Old Master Jun had a good relationship with her grandfather. Furthermore, the Zheng family was a political party that many people in Beijing wanted to climb up. She thought that Jun Shiling would definitely see her if she came to look for Jun Shiling.

The security team only listened to Jun Shiling’s orders. They did not care about Zheng Fei’s background and sent her and her bodyguards to the police station.

Director Liu looked at the people who had been sent over and heard what Jun Shiling had said. He instantly had a headache. Why were all of them so powerful!?

However, Director Liu still chose to listen to Jun Shiling and detained Zheng Fei as a provocation.

When Jun Shiling entered the house, Xia Wanyuan had already put down her chopsticks. Her expression looked even colder than before.

“Why are you eating so little? Eat more.” Jun Shiling went forward and saw that the food in Xia Wanyuan’s bowl was still there.

“It’s none of your business.” The moment Xia Wanyuan spoke, both of them were stunned.
