Chapter 1007 - CEO Jun Coaxes the First Place

Xia Wanyuan had read so many books and memorized so many poems. She had thought long and hard about the love in the books and had never felt the same way.

But now, hearing Jun Shiling’s words from half a world away, Xia Wanyuan’s heart felt sour and soft.

It was clearly a negative emotion that made one feel wronged, uncomfortable, and want to cry, but because of Jun Shiling’s words, a little laughter made one’s heart leak out with a sweet warmth, making one’s heart soften.

Xia Wanyuan began to understand why so many scholars had been heartbroken over the word love since ancient times. It was because this thing seemed to have magic power.

It was annoying, memorable, painful, and filled with uncontrollable joy.

“What are you thinking about?” Jun Shiling’s gentle voice came with a comforting tone.

“Thinking about you,” Xia Wanyuan said bluntly.

Jun Shiling smiled again. Xia Wanyuan could imagine how the flowers would fall with the light when Jun Shiling smiled.

She seemed to miss him even more. Xia Wanyuan’s ears turned red.

“Baby.” Jun Shiling called her with a charming voice.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice became soft with Jun Shiling’s.

“Don’t be like this. I can’t control myself anymore.” Jun Shiling’s voice was extremely low. Once the spark of longing was ignited, it would burn crazily with his blood until he wanted to abandon everything and immediately look for Xia Wanyuan.

“Hmph.”

“Are you still sleeping? If not, I’ll chat with you, okay?” Jun Shiling could hear the sleepiness in Xia Wanyuan’s voice.

“No, accompany me.” Xia Wanyuan knew that Jun Shiling was busy, but sometimes, she did not want to be too sensible.

“Okay.” Jun Shiling was busy with the work at hand and multitasked to chat with Xia Wanyuan.

They chatted about books, paintings, gossip, and stories.

When he hung up the phone again, it was already more than two hours later.

It was the third time the person who came to deliver breakfast to Jun Shiling had come. It was almost time for lunch.

“Chief Officer, your food.” The person who came to deliver the food was a young woman. She was dressed neatly without makeup. In this environment filled with military green, she was like a blooming lotus.

“Thank you. Just leave it here.” Jun Shiling did not look up and focused on his work.

The woman did not say anything else. She placed the things respectfully and left the room.

When she returned to the lounge, the team members rushed up. “Leader, did you see the legendary chief officer? How is it?”

Although the woman was young, she was extremely dignified. She glanced at everyone and they immediately became obedient.

“Is this a place for you to gossip? Or do you think chief officers are the targets of your gossip?”

Everyone hurriedly shut their mouths and carefully retreated.

The woman tidied her clothes. Thinking of the god-like Jun Shiling she had just seen, admiration flashed across her eyes, but she suddenly frowned.

This Jun Shiling was a capable leader. Unfortunately, he was too immersed in his relationship. After such a big thing happened, he could actually calmly coax a woman for a few hours.

The woman opposite him was also insensible. She actually calmly delayed his work.

“Lin Wei, there’s a mission.” The voice outside the door interrupted her thoughts.

“Coming,” Lin Wei replied and walked out of the room.

Xia Yu had been squatting at Xia Wanyuan’s door for a long time. Xia Wanyuan finally opened the door.

Xia Yu had a bitter expression. “Sister, I’m starving.”

His foreign language was not good, and he could not get the phone network right. He could not connect to the card here and kept tossing and turning in the hotel. It was finally time for dinner, and Xia Wanyuan had not come out. He did not dare to call Xia Wanyuan, afraid that he would disturb her rest.

“Let’s go.” Xia Wanyuan was happy to be coaxed by Jun Shiling and was in a good mood. “My treat. What do you want to eat?”

“Sister, I knew you were the best!” Xia Yu jumped up and pulled Xia Wanyuan’s arm. “I just checked a restaurant. It’s said to be a famous century-old restuarant here. Let’s go.”

However, unfortunately, when they reached the door and were about to enter, they were stopped.

“I’m sorry, our restaurant was booked today. Please come another day.”

“Alright, Sister, let’s change to another one.” Xia Yu had always found a few backup shops to buy food. He immediately prepared to pull Xia Wanyuan to the next street.

However, just as the two of them walked away, someone stopped them.

“Miss Xia, our boss invites you in for a meal. Please stay.”

Xia Wanyuan turned around. “Who’s your boss?”

“Miss Xia, you’ll know when you go in.”

“Sister, something’s wrong. Don’t go.” Xia Yu looked at Xia Wanyuan.?Why are so many people looking for my sister every day?

Xia Wanyuan glanced into the dining room. In a daze, she could only see a man in a white suit sitting at the dining table in the middle. His figure was tall and straight. Although she could only see his back, Xia Wanyuan recognized who he was.

“Since he’s an old friend.” Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at a lively restaurant not far away. “Tell your boss that I’ll wait for him over there.”

With that, Xia Wanyuan turned and left.

The waiter had no choice but to return to the restaurant and stand respectfully beside the man in white, repeating Xia Wanyuan’s words.

The corners of the man’s lips curled up slightly. “She’s so wary of me? Alright, if the mountain isn’t me, then I’ll go to the mountain.”

The restaurant Xia Wanyuan casually pointed at was not like the high-end restaurant just now. They were all cheap food. Xia Yu was not picky. “Sister, do you know that person?”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yu sat by the window.

However, even though the location was already relatively remote, Xia Wanyuan’s eye-catching appearance and temperament still attracted countless gazes. The originally noisy restaurant slowly became quiet.

The dishes were served quickly in the dining room. Xia Wanyuan had just picked up her chopsticks when a flash of white appeared in her peripheral vision.

“Professor Xia, is it that difficult to treat you to a meal?” Yu Qian slowly walked over with a smile on his jade-like face.

Xia Wanyuan looked up and met Yu Qian’s cold eyes. “We’re not close. I didn’t do anything to deserve this.”

Yu Qian chuckled. “After listening to Professor Xia for so many classes, it’s normal for students to treat teachers to a meal.”

Xia Wanyuan called the waiter over. “Give this gentleman the same set meal.”

Yu Qian watched Xia Wanyuan decide his dishes on her own and did not say anything. “Miss Xia, aren’t you going to ask me why I came to Continent O?”

“Will you answer if I ask?” Xia Wanyuan looked straight at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian nodded. “Mm.”

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head and ate a mouthful of rice. “Then why are you here?”

“For Professor Xia.” Yu Qian smiled. “I haven’t listened to your lecture in a long time.”
