“Let’s go back and visit Grandpa tomorrow.”

The journey was silent. Jun Shiling only spoke when the car gradually drove into the manor.

Xia Wanyuan pulled herself out of her book that she read halfway. Looking at the time, it had been almost a month since she had seen Old Master.

“Sure.” Xia Wanyuan readily agreed.

When they arrived at the manor, the chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door for Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling got out of the car but did not leave immediately.

He stood at the door and waited for Xia Wanyuan to get out of the car. He used his hand to block the door, in case Xia Wanyuan’s head hit the roof.

The chauffeur was so shocked that his eyes widened, while Xia Wanyuan remained calm.

It was mainly because she had always watched those television dramas on Strawberry TV where many men would do the same, so she had tacitly agreed to Jun Shiling’s gentlemanly behavior. However, she had forgotten that Jun Shiling was not a gentleman, nor was he someone who could escort anyone out of the car.

“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and nodded slightly at Jun Shiling. When he met those smiling eyes, Jun Shiling retracted his hand and shook hands.

The garden had just been watered, and there was water dripping from the petals on the path of the stones.

Xia Wanyuan looked at the gorgeous blooming peach blossoms by the roadside and reached out to place one on the bedside table.

Unexpectedly, the branch of the peach blossom was somewhat tall. Xia Wanyuan stood on her toes slightly, but the gravel road was soaked. How could it bear the pair of eight-centimeter high heels?

Xia Wanyuan slipped and twisted her ankle from her high heels to the ground.

She fell to the side and screamed.

Jun Shiling, who had been walking behind Xia Wanyuan and had just answered the call, rushed to her side almost instantly.

Xia Wanyuan had wanted to rely on her own strength to stand firm, but she didn’t expect to feel a heart-wrenching pain from her ankle. If it was in her previous life, she could easily overcome it.

But in this life, Xia Wanyuan was so delicate that she could not exert any strength after spraining her ankle. Xia Wanyuan could only fall in the direction of the lawn, hoping that it would be lighter.

However, the pain she expected did not come. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

The smell of a mature man’s cologne wafted over from the shop. Xia Wanyuan raised her head and saw a firm line of jawline.

“Is everything okay?”

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Jun Shiling tensed up slightly. He calmly helped Xia Wanyuan up, but she had seriously sprained her leg. A slight movement would be as if ten thousand needles were stabbing into her.

Xia Wanyuan fell into Jun Shiling’s arms again.

…

Jun Shiling reached out to hug Xia Wanyuan. Looking at her lowered eyes, he suddenly bent down and carried her, then steadily walked into the manor.

As he was in too much of a hurry and could not hang up on the call, the other party was forced to hear the entire conversation.

A delicate cry of ‘aiyo’, and a cry of pain that made one’s heart ache.

Bo Xiao, on the other end, could not help but let his imagination run wild.

But what surprised him the most was that a woman’s voice actually appeared beside Jun Shiling?! And from the sound of it, the two of them were very close. This sounded like a fantasy story.

Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to pick her up directly. Through the thin shirt, the heat from Jun Shiling’s body spread to Xia Wanyuan layer by layer. Xia Wanyuan’s cheeks involuntarily flushed red.

The sky was dyed red and purple by the setting sun. The afterglow hugged the backs of the two of them. Compared to the multicolored light that filled the sky and the sea of flowers, this pair of figures seemed to be even more moving.

“Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu over.”

From afar, he saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan over. Uncle Wang did not dare to go forward. When he got closer, he saw that Xia Wanyuan’s right foot was already swollen.

“Okay, I’ll inform them immediately.”

Jun Shiling carried Xia Wanyuan up to the second floor and placed her on the bed.

“I’ll do it myself.” Xia Wanyuan bent down to remove her shoes.

Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling squatted down in silence and gently untied Xia Wanyuan’s shoelaces.

His hot palm formed a strong contrast with Xia Wanyuan’s jade-like feet. Xia Wanyuan shrank her toes in embarrassment.

Jun Shiling’s gaze swept across the toes that were shrinking shyly like seashells. His hands curled up involuntarily, and he couldn’t help but think of the smooth and tender sensation he had just experienced.

Instantly, his mouth went dry. “Lie down properly. The doctor will be here soon.” Just as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling quickly left the bedroom without even looking at Xia Wanyuan.

??

Xia Wanyuan leaned forward to take a sniff.?My feet didn’t stink either. Why was this person reacting so strongly??

By the time Jun Shiling entered the bedroom, Shen Xiu was already sitting in front of the bed, examining Xia Wanyuan’s wound.

“It’s your ankle. Let me apply some medicine for you. Remember to change it once a day. You can ice it two to three times a day to help with your recovery.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

Her clear voice made Shen Xiu look up at the woman who had appeared in Jun Shiling’s bedroom.

Her facial features were indeed moving, but Shen Xiu felt that he had seen her face somewhere before.

Even when he heard footsteps behind him, Shen Xiu still could not figure out where he had seen Xia Wanyuan.

“How is she?”

“It’s nothing. She’ll be fine after resting for a few days and putting on the ice diligently.”

Shen Xiu was young, but he had excellent medical skills. Hence, he was a long-term family doctor of the Jun family. Since he said that it was nothing serious, Jun Shiling did not probe further.

After applying the medicine, Shen Xiu followed Jun Shiling downstairs, leaving Xia Wanyuan sound asleep.

When she woke up again, she was woken up by a delicate fragrance. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes and saw a large bouquet of peach blossoms in the green porcelain vase on the bedside table.

In the living room downstairs, Shen Xiu had just left when Jun Shiling’s phone rang again.

“Hello?” Jun Shiling picked up the phone.

“Oh, my Great Master Jun, is that all?” The man’s teasing voice came through the phone.

Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment. When he realized what Bo Xiao was referring to, his eyes turned cold. “I’m hanging up.”

“Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong! Young Master Jun! I have something important to tell you.”

“You better have serious matters to attend to.” The coldness in Jun Shiling’s words could be felt even through the Pacific Ocean.

“Old K and the rest are probably going to make a move soon. I’m preparing to return to China in two days.” Bo Xiao finally lost his teasing spirit and his tone was filled with seriousness.

“Then come back. The Bo family needs you anyway.” Jun Shiling thought for a moment and agreed with Bo Xiao.

“Mmm, but will I be able to see that beautiful woman of yours when I’m back? I’m really curious what kind of fairy can make our cold-hearted Young Master Jun have such thoughts?”

After Bo Xiao was done talking about serious matters, he started to be indecent again. Before he could finish speaking, Jun Shiling had already hung up the phone.

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, a smile flashed across Bo Xiao’s fox-like eyes.

Five years later, I’m back in China.?
