Chapter 817: Noodles in Autumn

Xuan Sheng stood under the shed until Xia Wanyuan completely disappeared from his sight before sitting down again.

The soup in the bowl was no longer steaming. Xuan Sheng sat quietly for a while. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Xuan Sheng picked up the bowl of noodles and drank the remaining soup in his bowl. Then, he stood up and left.

The boss came over after a round of games and saw that one of the bowls of soup was empty. The boss could not help but be pleased. “It looks like my skills have improved. He even finished the soup. He likes my noodles so much.”

The boss looked up at the especially supportive guest and realized that he was clearly holding an umbrella, but he had walked away in the rain.

“Strange,” the boss mumbled. He did not look at it anymore and carried the plate into the kitchen.

The car had already driven far away. Xia Wanyuan stared at Jun Shiling a few times.

“What are you looking at?” Jun Shiling helplessly diverted his attention from the document and gently pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face.

“I was afraid that you would be unhappy.” Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was not a petty person, but she did not want to make him sad just because he doted on her.

Jun Shiling smiled and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. “I’m a little uncomfortable, but I can control myself.”

He loved Xia Wanyuan so much that he did not want her to come into contact with anybody from the opposite sex. He only wanted Xia Wanyuan to belong to himself. But at the same time, because he loved Xia Wanyuan, he gave her space and could even bail Xuan Sheng for her.

“I just want to help Xuan Sheng.” Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s waist and leaned on his shoulder.

“I know.” Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair. Xia Wanyuan was actually a very kind person, but her kindness was distinct from love and hate. She was like a ray of light that warmed the person who needed warmth the most.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan looked up with a smile in her eyes. She had always felt that when two people loved each other, the most important thing was soul communication and understanding, while Jun Shiling always stood behind her gently and firmly, understanding and tolerating her.

“Where’s my present to return the gratitude? You’ve never eaten noodles with me before.” Jun Shiling lowered his head and pressed it against Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. Xia Wanyuan’s long eyelashes blinked, tickling his heart.

“… Are you getting off work at six today?” Xia Wanyuan leaned forward and bit Jun Shiling’s lower lip.

“Mm.” Jun Shiling threw away the document in his hand and focused on Xia Wanyuan’s lips.

In the hospital, Xuan Li had just finished his surgery and woke up not long after.

“You did well this time.” Xuan Lit sat on the other end of the ward and nodded at Xuan Li in satisfaction.

Xuan Sheng was too uncontrollable and could maintain his composure. It had been difficult to find a breakthrough for Xuan Sheng during this period of time. Now that Xuan Sheng had beaten him up, it was unavoidable for him to be charged with malicious injury. He would find someone to worsen Xuan Li’s condition. This time, he had to completely suppress Xuan Sheng in prison.

“Dad,” Xuan Li called out weakly. “Xuan Sheng is gone. When can I completely replace him?”

“Don’t worry, he has so many high-quality clients and projects. You’ll be right…”

Before Xuan Li could finish speaking, the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open. The door bumped into the wall and made a loud sound.

“You! Why did you run out?! Did you break out of prison?” Seeing Xuan Sheng at the door, Xuan Li’s eyes widened. He reacted quickly and picked up his phone to call the security.

Xuan Li lay on the bed. When he saw Xuan Sheng, he recalled Xuan Sheng’s ruthless gaze and vicious actions in the office. He immediately trembled.

“Xuan Sheng, stop. This is the hospital. I’m your father. What do you want?” Xuan Lit looked at Xuan Sheng warily, afraid that he would hit him when he went crazy.

“Pfft.” The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up into a mocking sneer. “I want to kill you.”

Xuan Sheng’s tone was cold like a poisonous snake with its tongue sticking out. It inexplicably made one’s heart tremble.

Before Xuan Lit could speak, Xuan Sheng took two steps forward. “Don’t worry. I don’t want to dirty my hands. I came to tell you that since you like the power of Glory World Corporation so much, I’ll give it to you.

I’ll treat you to a free show and see how Glory World Corporation collapses step by step in my hands. ”

“You’re overestimating yourself.” Seeing that Xuan Sheng did not continue to step forward, Xuan Lit felt a little more confident.

“Then let’s wait and see.” Xuan Sheng smiled with his peach blossom-shaped eyes. He looked flirtatious, but this smile made one’s heart turn cold for no reason.

With that, Xuan Sheng left the ward.

“Don’t worry, Daddy. I’ll help you guard the foundation of Glory World Corporation for so many years.” Seeing the hesitation on Xuan Lit’s face, Xuan Li held the pain in his chest and said.

“Mm.” Xuan Li retracted his gaze. Xuan Sheng was indeed a little talented, but so what? Glory World Corporation was such a large corporation. How can I be afraid of a brat who was still wet behind the ears? 

“Dad, there’s something else. Xuan Sheng has invested most of his funds into Xia Wanyuan’s company project. I’ve already signed a contract with them. Please send your trusted aide over.”

In fact, Xuan Li did not expect that Xiafeng Corporation would agree to the contract so easily. After all, seeing Xia Wanyuan’s attitude last time, he thought that it would be very difficult.

However, Xia Wanyuan had actually never paid attention to the change in the contract.

She had always trusted her subordinates and handed all the company matters to Shen Qian. At the critical moment of the Moon Bay project, Shen Qian also stayed in Lin Xi City often. The documents that his subordinates had reviewed were handed to him, and Shen Qian signed them if he felt that there was no problem.

The contract between Glory World Corporation and Xiafeng Corporation was mixed in a pile of ordinary documents and handed to Shen Qian, which was successfully signed.

Xia Wanyuan was still unaware of this. She went to the production team and cooperated with Director Wang Wei to film some finishing scenes before being specially allowed to leave work early.

At that moment, she was busy letting the servants build a small shed in the garden.

The garden was filled with chrysanthemums one after another. Thousands of flowers fought for attention. The rain fell on the petals and lingered with the faint fragrance of the entire autumn.

When Jun Shiling returned home and entered the manor, he saw Xia Wanyuan standing under the small shed in the garden. The white steam made her look like she was surrounded by immortal fog.

Jun Shiling strode over and touched Xia Wanyuan’s hand. Fortunately, it was not cold.

“It’s cold outside. What are you doing here?”

“Isn’t it all because a certain primary school student insisted on competing with others?” Xia Wanyuan smiled and glanced at Jun Shiling, then opened the pot lid in front of her. The water in the pot was already boiling. Xia Wanyuan grabbed two handfuls of noodles and threw them in. “Go and sit by the side. Didn’t you say that I didn’t eat noodles with you in the shed?”

Although Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was more childish, she was still quite willing to do something that could make him happy by making a bowl of noodles.
