Caught off guard by Jun Shiling’s coat, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she was surrounded by Jun Shiling’s scent.

The faint fragrance of the wine mixed with the sandalwood perfume that Jun Shiling often used enveloped Xia Wanyuan in an aggressive manner. The jacket even had some of Jun Shiling’s warmth left.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been inside for some time and had not come out, the chauffeur tactfully closed the door, leaving space for the two in the car.

“Is there something on your mind?”

Even though in everyone’s eyes, Jun Shiling had the entire Jun Corporation, he was decisive and had boundless glory.

However, in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had once followed orders and controlled the entire Xia Dynasty.

She naturally understood that the higher one stood, the more they would suffer.

When she was young, she loved to fly kites on the plains in the suburbs of Beijing. The mud melted into the warm wind and she was very happy. In the years that followed, she never saw the blue sky and white clouds in the suburbs of Beijing when she was seven years old.

In his drunken state, after Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan put on his coat, he seemed to have fallen asleep again. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling’s eyelashes twitched, but he did not open his eyes.

“I won’t ask if you don’t want to tell me.”

Xia Wanyuan felt that she might have intruded Jun Shiling’s privacy.

“Today is my parents’ death anniversary,” Jun Shiling suddenly said with his eyes closed. His voice was a little hoarse. “When I was three years old, they passed away due to a car accident.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” Xia Wanyuan said carefully.

The current Jun Shiling was no longer as cold and aloof as before. It was as if this special day had evoked the gentleness that he had hidden in his heart.

It made one think that the omnipotent and indomitable Jun Shiling was actually like Xiao Bao in the beginning. He knew how to act coquettishly and act cute. Whenever he had something he did not understand, he would come back to look for his parents. He was just a child who needed his parents’ love and care.

“It’s nothing. Go in first. It’s cold outside. I’ll go in later.” Jun Shiling opened his eyes, his deep eyes filled with fatigue.

Xia Wanyuan glanced worriedly at Jun Shiling’s condition before getting out of the car with Jun Shiling’s coat over her shoulders.

After Xia Wanyuan left, the car returned to silence. The darkness outside the window surged and roared, as if it wanted to drill in through the car window and completely swallow Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling was thinking about many things. His mind was a little muddled after drinking, and he felt even more tired.

However, the car door was suddenly opened and Xia Wanyuan returned. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was holding a bowl of vegetable egg soup.

Xia Wanyuan closed the car door, blocking out the darkness.

“The servants in the kitchen are already resting. I made a simple soup. Drink it. You probably didn’t eat much tonight.”

As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she handed the egg soup to Jun Shiling.

In the modern world, there was Nanny Li in the villa and a complete set of chefs in the manor. There was no need for Xia Wanyuan to personally cook.

However, although Xia Wanyuan rarely cooked, her cooking skills were exquisite. In her previous life, she had brought along her younger siblings and traveled through chaotic times alone. Even a simple stir-fry would be different.

It was a simple bowl of soup, and the vegetables were picked up after boiling once. As a result, the color of the soup was extremely clear. The vegetables were tender and green, and the egg flowers were evenly distributed in the soup. It was as if countless spring flowers had bloomed between the flourishing plants, making it extremely beautiful.

Jun Shiling took the bowl and drank the soup in large mouthfuls. The hot soup flowed down his esophagus, sending warmth to every part of his body and converging back to his heart.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Jun Shiling felt much more relaxed.

Xia Wanyuan was still wearing Jun Shiling’s clothes. It was obvious that she had gone straight into the house to cook soup, so she came to look for him without stopping.

Xia Wanyuan was not short, but with Jun Shiling’s wide coat, she looked exquisite. Her fair face appeared even more gentle under the warm yellow light.

She was looking down at her book, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her face.

“Xia Wanyuan,” Jun Shiling called out in a deep voice, his deep eyes staring intently at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan was reading a book when Jun Shiling suddenly spoke. She looked up in confusion, and his almond-shaped eyes were as clear as the mountains after the rain.

Caught off guard, Jun Shiling’s aura surged towards her. With his left hand holding her head and his right hand on her shoulder, he hugged her completely.

“You?!” Jun Shiling’s actions were so sudden that Xia Wanyuan did not react in time. She did not even hold the book in her hand as it rolled down Jun Shiling’s leg and onto the ground.

She did not know why Jun Shiling had suddenly acted like this, but based on her understanding of Jun Shiling’s character, Xia Wanyuan was not worried that he would do anything to her. It was just that Jun Shiling’s aura was too strong around her, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

“Just for a while.” Jun Shiling’s magnetic and hoarse voice sounded by her ear. Xia Wanyuan could feel the vibration in Jun Shiling’s chest when he spoke.

What surrounded Xia Wanyuan in the suit was Jun Shiling’s burning body temperature. Unconsciously, Xia Wanyuan’s ears flushed red.

Jun Shiling, who was holding Xia Wanyuan in his arms, naturally saw her bright red earlobe.
