Chapter 816: The Princess Saves Xuan Sheng

Xuan Sheng wanted to open his eyes, but he was afraid that it was his hallucination. Instead of being disappointed, it was better to escape. The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up in self-mockery.

How could Xia Wanyuan be here? 

“Xuan Sheng?” This voice was getting clearer. The agitation in his body seemed to have been calmed by this clear voice.

Xuan Sheng finally could not help but open his eyes. Xia Wanyuan stood at the door coldly. It was clearly a rainy day and the sky was gray, but Xuan Sheng felt that Xia Wanyuan’s entire body was shining.

“Why are you here?” Xuan Sheng hurriedly stood up. He did not care about the wound on his body. He had beaten Xuan Li up badly, but Xuan Li had also caused him considerable damage.

Xuan Sheng took a few steps towards Xia Wanyuan and suddenly stopped. He lowered his head to look. His supreme clothes had long become wrinkled in the fight, and there was even a lot of dust.

Xuan Sheng turned around and patted the dust off his clothes, trying to make himself look clean. Then, he turned around and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Xuan Sheng. Even though the dust on his body had been patted off, the wound on his arm and neck still made him look extremely disheveled.

“Go out first.” Xia Wanyuan handed Xuan Sheng an umbrella, then opened it herself and walked out the door.

Xuan Sheng followed with an umbrella. As he walked beside Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng could not help but secretly glance at her.

In the hazy rain, Xia Wanyuan was wearing a loose white sweater. The high collar covered her chin, leaving an extremely gentle arc. Rain fell on her hair in the autumn breeze, causing it to look like she was covered in ink.

“We’ll bail you out first.” Sensing that Xuan Sheng was looking at her, Xia Wanyuan turned around. Xuan Sheng had been detained, and Glory World Corporation was behind it. Jun Shiling had to step in to make the police willing to let him go.

Hearing Xia Wanyuan say “we”, Xuan Sheng’s eyes darkened a little, but he still squeezed out a smile. “Thank you.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan accepted the ‘thank you’. “I think you’re hungry too. There’s a noodle stall outside. Go and eat a bowl of noodles first.”

Xia Wanyuan was actually hungry too. The news of Xuan Sheng was everywhere. Even the teachers in the office were discussing it. Xia Wanyuan had heard about this when she returned to the office after class.

The last time she heard Xuan Sheng mention the interests of Glory World Corporation, Xia Wanyuan quickly thought of who was adding fuel to the fire.

She called Jun Shiling and came to pick him up. As expected, ever since Xuan Sheng was in trouble, no one was willing to help him. Even he had lost his hope of survival.

“Oh,” Xuan Sheng replied and took a step back. He followed Xia Wanyuan and finally brazenly cast all his eyes on her.

It was raining and it was only three in the afternoon. There was no one in the noodle shop except for the boss, who was playing games with his legs crossed. Seeing that someone was coming, the boss hurriedly began to busy himself.

“Two bowls of beef noodles.”

“Okay.”

The boss removed the lid, and the heat surged like a fog. Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Xuan Sheng was silent.

The beef noodles were quickly served. The mellow fragrance instantly filled the tip of his nose. Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered. Xuan Sheng glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s expression, his eyes tinged with a smile.

The boss went to play games. There was no one outside the tent that was supported by oilcloth. The autumn wind and the cold rain fell quietly on the ground.

In the shed, one mouth of the mellow soup, the chewy noodles, and the braised beef seemed like they had swallowed the entire world.

Xia Wanyuan couldn’t resist the temptation of adding another spoonful of chili. It was so spicy that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she ate very well.

Xuan Sheng had really not liked to eat for many years. To him, eating was just a carrier of painful memories. No matter how delicious the food was, it was like chewing wax in his eyes.

However, today, this small bowl of beef noodles seemed to have given him a sense of taste for the first time.

He could feel the mellow taste of the soup and the fragrance of the meat. Xuan Sheng swallowed his saliva. After so many years, he finally had an appetite.

Xuan Sheng picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Then, he took a second and third bite.

In the end, he even imitated Xia Wanyuan and drank a few mouthfuls of broth.

“What are you going to do about Glory World Corporation’s actions?” After eating and drinking her fill, Xia Wanyuan began to do business.

“I want to do it myself. Since they want to share my power so much, I’ll give it all to them.” Thinking of the people from Glory World Corporation, a cold light flashed across Xuan Sheng’s eyes. A group of old farts who wanted him to work for them to earn money but were afraid that he would have too much power and hd an unfair mentality.

“Okay, we can cooperate.” The reason Xuan Sheng could make those people from Glory World Corporation do a roundabout way and not directly take him down was because Xuan Sheng had a lot of resources. If she worked with Xuan Sheng, she could earn money and help him. Xia Wanyuan felt that it was the best of both worlds.

“Of course we can cooperate. If Miss Xia is willing, I can be your lackey.” Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, the coldness in Xuan Sheng’s eyes disappeared, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes narrowed.

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “It’s a waste of talent. I can’t afford it.”

Seeing that a car had come to pick her up, Xia Wanyuan stood up. “Then I’ll leave first.”

“Mm.” Xuan Sheng stood up and looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan. “Thank you.”

Xia Wanyuan nodded, opened the umbrella, and walked into the rain.
