Chapter 426: Heartache Music Variety

There were originally two study rooms in the main building, but Jun Shiling insisted that Xia Wanyuan go with him, so she did.

The nearly 150 square meters large study was originally a little empty. As more and more books were moved in, the study became full.

By the time Jun Shiling finished reading the three proposals and looked up, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Not far away, Xia Wanyuan was sitting at the table reading an ancient book that was twenty centimeters tall. Under the light, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were tired, but there was a light in them.

Occasionally, when she flipped through something of value, Xia Wanyuan’s expression would become very excited.

Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan quietly, his heart sour and soft.

He felt sorry for her, but he was also proud that she was so outstanding.

When he finally saw Xia Wanyuan close the book, Jun Shiling walked over and picked her up by the waist.

“What are you doing?” Xia Wanyuan was shocked.

“I’ll carry you to bed. You’re already working so hard. What else can I do?” Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan helplessly.

He couldn’t stop Xia Wanyuan from reading. He could tell that Xia Wanyuan was very happy being a professor.

His heart ached for her, so he could only try to pamper her from other aspects. For example, he did not want her to walk.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan saw the pain in Jun Shiling’s eyes and her heart sweetened. She hugged Jun Shiling’s neck and leaned into his arms without worry.

Xiao Bao had fallen asleep long ago. Jun Shiling placed Xia Wanyuan on the bed, pulled the blanket over her, and planted a kiss on her forehead.

“Madam, you’ve worked hard.”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes curved up. She pulled Jun Shiling and kissed him on the cheek. “Goodnight.”

“Good night.”

————

Xia Wanyuan’s hard work had paid off. It was very difficult for a new member to gain a foothold in the team. And Xia Wanyuan had done it. In an extremely short period of time, she had won everyone’s trust and even obtained the opportunity to enter the national key project.

Many projects had been exposed on the official Weibo of Qing University. However, everyone did not pay attention to Yuan Wanxia at all times, so almost no one noticed these details.

There were too many things to do, so busy that Xia Wanyuan had forgotten that she had once released an album.

It was only when Tang Yin reminded her to attend the music festival that Xia Wanyuan recalled.

“Oh, I remember now. I did make an album.”

“…” Tang Yin choked speechlessly. Ancestor!! That was an album that swept through the champions of all the major platforms!!

You actually forgot an album that has broken countless records?? Do you still want those people who rely on singing to make a living? They might not be able to make such an album in their lives.

“That’s right. This music ceremony is quite authoritative. The sales of your Wanfeng’s album has already far surpassed second place. There must be a place for you at such a ceremony.”

“Okay, come and pick me up when the time comes.”

“There’s something else. Your album’s response is actually especially good, so the company has an idea to let you participate in a singing variety program. Do you think it will work?”

“You and Chen Yun decide.” Xia Wanyuan had always trusted her subordinates. “I have no opinons.”

“Okay, then we’ll sign you up.” The company wanted Xia Wanyuan to become a superstar who had developed all-round in film and television songs. The popularity of Wanfeng’s album had gradually passed, and the audience had to remember again that Xia Wanyuan was especially good at singing.

Chapter 427: Reappearance of the Bracelet in the Past Life

Old Master Jun’s birthday was on the 22nd of June. It was Old Master Jun’s seventieth birthday, so he would definitely be the center of attention.

However, Old Master did not look forward to the 22nd of June at all. On the contrary, he preferred the 21st because it was their family banquet.

Jun Shiling was too busy. Even if he tried his best to squeeze some time in, he could only rush back in the afternoon.

Xia Wanyuan’s scenes were almost done. She easily took leave and accompanied the old master in the manor.

The old master looked at the current manor that was filled with people and recalled how cold it was a few months ago. He sighed in his heart.

“Wanyuan, this is for you.” The old master took out a stack of documents and a box from his bag and handed them to Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan opened it. “Equity Transfer Document.”

“Grandpa, this is?”

“Keep it. What I gave you is different from what Ah Ling gave you. I’ve already handed the Jun Corporation to him. The other assets that belong to me are now divided into two. You take half and give the rest to Xiao Bao.” The old master looked lovingly at Xiao Bao, who was playing football in the garden.

“I don’t need this , Grandpa.” Xia Wanyuan wanted to decline, but the old master stopped her.

“I know you don’t need it,” Old Master said slowly. “With Ah Ling’s feelings for you now, I’m afraid he’ll be willing to give the Jun Corporation to you. I’m his grandfather. I know him too well.”

The old master smiled kindly. “But that was given to you by him. This is a gift from me to my granddaughter-in-law.”

Xia Wanyuan was stunned. Indeed, this asset represented the Old Master’s recognition of her. Xia Wanyuan did not decline anymore. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

“This bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation in the Jun family. After Ah Ling’s mother passed away back then, this bracelet has always been with me. Now, it’s yours.”

Xia Wanyuan opened the box and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly hid it.

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“You’re welcome. I’m relieved that you can live well with Ah Ling.” After speaking, Old Master stood up and went to the garden to look for Xiao Bao.

After Old Master walked out, Xia Wanyuan picked up the bracelet on the table.

The bracelet was blue like water, but there was a small section that was naturally blood-red. It looked like a phoenix flying in flames.

Xia Wanyuan touched the back of the phoenix and indeed saw an extremely fine scratch that was difficult to notice with the naked eye.

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes changed. This was the bracelet from my previous life.

The name of this bracelet was the Falling Phoenix Bracelet. From the moment she was born, she had been wearing it. When she was twenty-two, there was a traitor in the army. She led her troops into the enemy camp and was set up to fall off the horse and roll down the cliff. When her life was in danger, she met a couple and they saved her.

After she recovered from her illness, there was nothing else on her except for the Falling Phoenix Bracelet. She took it off and gave it to the couple.

Could it be that the Jun family was the descendant of that couple?

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered slightly. In her previous life, she had almost lost her life on the cliff and given the bracelet to her benefactor. Now, after a thousand years, the bracelet had actually returned to her hand. It was really a coincidence.

“What are you thinking about?” Xia Wanyuan was so focused that she didn’t notice the footsteps behind her. She was caught off guard by Jun Shiling hugging and kissing her.

Jun Shiling’s warm breath blew into her ear, causing the tip of Xia Wanyuan’s ear to turn red.

“Why are you back so early?” Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was not noon yet.

“I came back after I was done with my tasks. Did Grandpa give you this bracelet?” Jun Shiling also saw the bracelet in Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

“Let me put it on for you.” Jun Shiling walked from behind the sofa to sit beside Xia Wanyuan. He took the bracelet and put it on Xia Wanyuan’s wrist.

The watery bracelet matched Xia Wanyuan’s fair wrist and was extremely beautiful.

“How beautiful,” Jun Shiling praised as he held Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

Xia Wanyuan’s complicated emotions because of the Falling Phoenix Bracelet calmed down after Jun Shiling’s arrival.

It was gradually noon, and a few cars arrived in the manor one after another.

Chapter 428: Guessing Madam Jun

Because it was a family banquet, only a few especially trustworthy friends were invited. Including the Jun family, there were less than ten people.

Everyone sat around the table and raised their glasses to congratulate Old Master Jun on his birthday. Old Master waved his hand happily.

“It’s a small family banquet today. Everyone who came today are the ones we trust the most. This old man has lived for seventy years. Now, I am truly successful. Let me introduce everyone. This is my granddaughter-in-law. This news is not public yet, but let me introduce her to everyone today.”

Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan stood up and toasted the elders.

The elders present were all extremely important people. Everyone understood what Old Master Jun meant and returned a gift bag. This was considered officially acknowledging Xia Wanyuan’s status in the Jun family.

After dinner, the old master was playing chess with his friends. Jun Shiling accompanied Xia Wanyuan for a walk in the garden to digest their food.

“Jun Shiling, do you believe in people’s previous lives?” Xia Wanyuan suddenly asked.

Jun Shiling paused and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. “Yes.”

Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that someone like Jun Shiling, who believed in materialism, would not believe these words about previous and current lives. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling’s eyes were especially firm? In Jun Shiling’s deep gaze, Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say next.

Jun Shiling gripped Xia Wanyuan’s hand tightly and pushed her hair back. “As long as you say it, I’ll believe you.”

Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth to say something. Not far away, Xiao Bao was looking for his parents with a cake.

Hearing Xiao Bao’s voice, Xia Wanyuan bit her lip. “Let’s go over first.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan and did not say anything.

The family banquet was relaxed and comfortable. Everyone chatted and laughed, and the day passed.

“Alright, don’t send me off. You guys should rest early too. The banquet tomorrow night is tiring. Ah Ling, adjust yourself well.” The old master waved at Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

He did not like to hold such a grand birthday celebration, but in his position, sometimes he had to do things he did not want.

After a lot of publicity by the media, everyone knew about Old Master Jun’s seventieth birthday.

Such large banquets had never been really for food. Many people wanted to use this opportunity to build connections with the Jun Corporation, so many people went to attend the banquet.

Even some big shot celebrities in the entertainment industry wanted to join in the fun.

After all, in an environment where capital was everything in the entertainment industry, if one could gain the favor of the Jun Corporation, it could be said that they had latched onto a golden thigh.

To the masses in the entertainment industry, it was not important how many rich and powerful people had gone. They did not care how many resources and power were exchanged.

What they were most concerned about was that on such an important occasion like Old Master Jun’s seventieth birthday, Jun Shiling, who was the top ideal husband in the world, should be appearing this time!

However, to everyone’s surprise, there were no reports about Madam Jun Shiling. Instead, the little successor of the Jun family, that cute little dumpling, appeared in Old Master Jun’s arms.

At this moment, the netizens were tempted.

The rich had an illegitimate child, the mother had been abandoned, lovers had children, and all sorts of guesses appeared.

There was even an article about Jun Shiling, who was actually incapable and could only use test tubes to nurture infants through technology.

The various forces in Beijing were also watching. They did not see the mistress of the Jun family appear. The hearts of the socialites in Beijing, who had died, began to grow again.

A group of socialites: Madam Jun’s position is too tempting. What’s wrong with being a stepmother? I love being a stepmother.

Chapter 429: Master Jun Can’t??

No matter how unwilling Jun Shiling was, he had to go to such a big event.

Xia Wanyuan was happy to be idle. She drew a painting at home and posted it on Weibo, then went downstairs to watch television.

It was rare that the professors at Qing University did not look for her today, so she gave herself a break.

Unexpectedly, just as the television switched on, her phone vibrated. Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw that the beautiful profile picture was flashing anxiously.

Xia Wanyuan pressed the answer button.

“Hello, sister!! What are you doing??” An Rao’s charming voice could be heard through the phone.

“Watch television.” Xia Wanyuan threw a potato chip into her mouth.

“What’s so good about television? Sister, you said you’ll play games with me last time, but we haven’t done it yet.” Xia Wanyuan had a magical ability to make people calm. Even though An Rao was older than Xia Wanyuan, she could act coquettishly in front of Xia Wanyuan without any conflict.

“Alright, go online.” Xia Wanyuan switched off the television and switched on the game.

The facts had proven that even an immortal could not help this strange person, An Rao.

Something that could have been resolved in one round had to be played for more than an hour under the effects of An Rao, the god-like hind leg, to help An Rao overcome the tribulation.

“Thank you, Sister. You’re too kind. They don’t want to play with me.”

Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, ‘After this round, I won’t be willing to play with you anymore.’

“Sister, I saw you on Weibo. You’re filming with Yan Ci. How does it feel to film with a handsome man?”

“That’s it. What can I feel about filming a scene?” Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa and chatted with An Rao.

“Wow, are you serious? I barely admit that Yan Ci is very handsome, but you actually think that’s all? Could it be that you have someone you like?” An Rao asked curiously.

Xia Wanyuan was about to answer when she suddenly heard the door open behind her. Xiao Bao, who was wearing a custom-made suit, jumped towards Xia Wanyuan.

“Mommy!! Kiss!!” Xia Wanyuan smiled and kissed Xiao Bao on the cheek. Xiao Bao skipped upstairs to take a shower.

“It ended so quickly?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling. He had specially dressed up today and looked better than usual.

“Mm, there was nothing much to do, so I came back. What are you doing?”

Xia Wanyuan raised her phone. “Talking to a friend.” Seeing Jun Shiling’s expression turn cold instantly, Xia Wanyuan hurriedly added, “Female.”

Jun Shiling’s expression instantly warmed. “Alright, then you chat with her. I’ll go up and wash up first.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

After a while, An Rao’s voice suddenly came from the other end of the line. “F*ck?! Sister, you’re married?! And you have a child? A secret marriage and a child?”

“That’s right.” Xia Wanyuan was very calm.

“Impressive!” In the end, An Rao could only sigh. “Aren’t you afraid that the company will know to terminate your contract?”

No.”

An Rao only thought that Xia Wanyuan was bold and did not think in other directions.

An Rao had never come into contact with female celebrities who had been married and had children. Of course, as the public enemy of women in the entertainment industry, she had never come into contact with many female celebrities before, so she pestered Xia Wanyuan and asked a bunch of questions.

“No way?!! The three of you sleep together every night?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Sister! There’s something wrong!”

Single dogs were probably like this. They clearly did not even have a boyfriend, but when it came to others, they analyzed love and relationships logically.

An Rao, who had already classified Xia Wanyuan as her sister, was very worried about her sister’s naive actions.

She was so young and beautiful. She had not even begun to enjoy the brilliance of life when she was trapped by a man. She was even married. Furthermore, she had given birth so early and slept with the child every night. This was a huge problem.

An Rao began to tell Xia Wanyuan all sorts of examples of couples having emotional breakdowns after a child.

“Sister, let me tell you. Don’t relax. Don’t think that you’ll be stable after giving birth. Furthermore, from the looks of it, your husband is quite rich. Don’t let the mistresses outside take the opportunity to enter.”

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had treated the house in the west side of the city as a foothold, An Rao guessed that Xia Wanyuan’s husband was probably quite rich.

“…” Xia Wanyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry at An Rao’s theory. She used the excuse of going to take a shower to end An Rao’s long speech.

However, it was not easy for An Rao to find a sister who was willing to play games with her. How could she watch her sister live without any vigilance?

Links to emotional speeches were sent to Xia Wanyuan’s WeChat one after another.

Xia Wanyuan went to the bathroom to take a shower and placed her phone on the bedside table. Jun Shiling came out of the shower and was about to pick up the book on the cabinet.

He saw a message pop up on Xia Wanyuan’s phone.

“Sister, is your husband impotent?”

Chapter 430: He’s Really Fine

Jun Shiling’s hand paused.

The messages on her phone kept jumping.

“I guessed right?!!”

“No wonder your husband didn’t have any thoughts when a lively beauty like you was displayed right in front of him.”

The bathroom door was pushed open and Xia Wanyuan walked out with her hair half wet. Jun Shiling’s gaze moved away from the phone.

Taking the hairdryer by the side, Jun Shiling walked behind Xia Wanyuan and slowly helped her blow dry her hair.

Her hair gradually dried. Xia Wanyuan reached for her phone and clicked on An Rao’s link.

At that moment, Jun Shiling suddenly brushed her hair from behind. Xia Wanyuan’s hand trembled and poked into a link.

The explicit words and photos in the link shocked Xia Wanyuan, a real ancient person from more than a thousand years ago. Xia Wanyuan blushed and hurriedly clicked on the fork number on the right.

However, a pair of large hands had already taken the phone away from her.

“Jun Shiling, return it to me.” Xia Wanyuan stood up and was about to snatch the phone back when Jun Shiling hugged her.

“108 postures that move a man??” Jun Shiling’s magnetic voice slowly read the titles of the links with a different charm.

“66 words to capture his heart?”

“Treat your husband’s impotency with one move?”

Jun Shiling lowered his voice and wanted to continue reading. Xia Wanyuan pounced over and covered his mouth with her hand. “Someone sent this to me. Stop reading.”

Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened. He threw his phone onto the sofa and wrapped his arm around Xia Wanyuan’s waist. He picked her up from the sofa and pressed her against the blanket.

“I’m impotent?” Jun Shiling leaned forward, and Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red.

“I didn’t say it.” Xia Wanyuan covered her eyes helplessly.

“So can I or can I not?” When it came to men’s dignity, Master Jun could not escape the cliché and had to hear it clearly. Jun Shiling moved again. “Speak.”

“Okay, okay, okay. You’re the best, okay? The child is coming soon. Get off.” Xia Wanyuan’s entire body was scalded red by the heat from Jun Shiling.

“Hmph, just you wait.” Jun Shiling clenched his fists and leaned into Xia Wanyuan’s ear. He said fiercely, and one could hear the extreme restraint in his voice. “Explain to your friend clearly. You’re not allowed to ruin your husband’s reputation outside.”

Xia Wanyuan was anxious and amused. How am I to explain this?

After a while, Xia Wanyuan felt that not only did Jun Shiling’s impulse not dissipate, but it also seemed to be increasing. “Let go of me quickly. It’s so hot.”

“No, I can’t let go.” Jun Shiling reached out and locked the door, then sent Uncle Wang a message asking him to bring the little divine beast to play with toys for a while.

Only then did he pull Xia Wanyuan into his arms and kiss her.

“Help me.”

…………

After some time, Xia Wanyuan was about to melt into a puddle in Jun Shiling’s arms before Jun Shiling reluctantly let her go.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not reply to all the WeChat messages she had sent, An Rao was about to call her to ask.

She received a message from Xia Wanyuan.

“He’s fine, really.”

An Rao: Really? I don’t believe it. Sister, don’t pretend to be strong. I understand. If there’s a problem, we can treat it slowly. I know an old Chinese doctor who’s not bad. I heard that he specializes in treating difficult illnesses. I’ll send you his WeChat.

Xia Wanyuan:…

Xia Wanyuan looked at the dark-faced Jun Shiling in amusement. I’ve really explained it. You can’t blame me for this, right?

The Ning Yuan Fund appeared out of nowhere and, before anyone noticed, invested a large sum of money on the road to Dongshan.

How many years had it been since the residents of East Mountain had seen so many outsiders other than traffickers? When they learned that so many people had come to fix their roads and buy their farm products at high prices, some old people secretly wiped their tears.

After living for so many years, they could finally see what the outside world was like.

Shen Qian returned to Beijing after his inspection and handed the matter to his trusted aide to supervise the construction. The East Mountain project was progressing smoothly.

Xia Wanyuan’s scenes for “Moon As Frost” were almost done filming. Over the past few days, she had been practicing for the new song variety program.
