The wound on John was too terrifying. Not only was his face bruised, but his facial features could not be seen at all. His legs and arms were swollen everywhere, and there was blood seeping out in many places.

[ Oh my god, is there still law? Call the police!!! You’re not arresting her, even when it’s like this! Xia Wanyuan is breaking the law! ]

[This is too much. They don’t care about our American law at all. Where are the police? Are they doing nothing?]

[How pitiful. You’re beaten up like this, but you’re our hero. You’re a hero who stood up to defend against an evil force like China! We’re proud of you.]

John sat on the bed and looked at the support of the netizens on the Internet. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up. However, the injuries on his face were too serious. As soon as he moved, he grimaced in pain.

“Damn it! Xia Wanyuan, I’ll remember you!” John frowned. “I’ll make you go to jail in America!”

That night, John was so injured that he could not sleep. He attacked Xia Wanyuan crazily on social media. By the next morning, he had already posted nearly 50 posts.

Even the netizens who had scolded Xia Wanyuan with him were tired. He still patiently tagged Xia Wanyuan.

In the hotel, the sunlight shone in through the window. Xia Wanyuan slowly opened her eyes, then sat up and glanced at the sofa. Jun Shiling had already woken up.

Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket to wash up. She had just come out of the bathroom when she saw Jun Shiling walk in with breakfast in one hand.

The noodles were clearly made by Jun Shiling himself, and the milk was warm.

Xia Wanyuan leaned over and held Jun Shiling’s hand. This time, Jun Shiling did not avoid her.

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes curved up. “CEO Jun, you’re not angry with me anymore?”

Jun Shiling handed the milk cup to Xia Wanyuan. “I’m done with being angry yesterday.”

“Huh?” Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Jun Shiling lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on Xia Wanyuan’s lips. He did not leave. Instead, in this position, his obsidian-like eyes stared fixedly at Xia Wanyuan. “I ignored you yesterday because I wanted to punish you, but my instincts urged me not to be angry for too long.”

A smile flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes as she stepped forward slightly. “I still want to kiss you.”

Jun Shiling was amused by her. “Why are you so unreserved now?”

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were sparkling like diamonds. “Then do you want to kiss me?”

The corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up, then he leaned forward and covered Xia Wanyuan’s red lips.

After a while, Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms. “CEO Jun, are you still sleeping on the sofa today?”

“No.” Only then did Jun Shiling tell the truth. “I didn’t sleep last night. Do you think everyone is as heartless as you? I think you slept quite well alone.”

Unlike him, who slept coldly and uncomfortably alone and could not sleep the entire night.

“Isn’t that because your aura is in the blanket? That’s why I fell asleep in peace.” Xia Wanyuan’s words successfully softened Jun Shiling’s expression.

“Alright, have breakfast. After breakfast, go and settle that person. Then, we’ll return to the country. The one at home is already going to be noisy,” Jun Shiling said as he handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan.

It was a video sent by Xiao Bao.

On the screen, Xiao Bao’s face was fair and tender. His big eyes had completely gathered Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s merits and were shining. “Mommy, come back quickly. I miss you so much.”

As he spoke, tears welled up in Xiao Bao’s eyes and fell one by one like pearls, making Xia Wanyuan’s heart soften.

“Be good, we’ll be back tomorrow. Be good and don’t disturb Auntie An Rao,” Xia Wanyuan said gently to Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao’s eyes were red as he nodded obediently. “Then come back quickly.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan felt a little tasteless. Xiao Bao’s cute and pitiful appearance was too endearing. Through the screen, Xia Wanyuan wanted to rub his head.

Jun Shiling took a spoon and scooped the porridge, then fed it to Xia Wanyuan. “You two are really good. One is better than the other.”

Xia Wanyuan opened her mouth and ate the porridge. “Then you can ignore me.”

Jun Shiling paused in his actions of scooping the porridge. If he had known earlier, he would have left Xia Wanyuan hanging for another day. Over the past few days, her attitude had been very domineering after making a mistake. When she did not make a mistake, her attitude was even more domineering.

In front of the American stadium, the competition had already ended. Logically speaking, the venue should be empty. However, the stadium was filled with people. All the news media were gathered here.

John sat in front of the stage with a head full of bandages. “I held this press conference today to let the world see how Xia Wanyuan and her husband attacked me in a terrorist-like manner in a normal competition.”

Terrorist attacks were a sensitive word for America. When this was said, even the reporters’ expressions changed.

As John spoke, he took off his shirt and let the media reporters look at the wound on his body. “Look, I was beaten up by them. This is America’s land. If the American officials don’t give me justice this time, I think everyone in the country will wonder if America can protect its people.”

This was a global live broadcast. When John said this, the audience in the live-stream became polarized.

One side was angered by him, while the other felt that he had gone overboard with his moral kidnapping.

[Good lord, he suffered a beating, a terrorist attack, and the official law of America. Does this person think too highly of himself?]

[ The person in front, you’re from China. You don’t understand. America has the right to protect every citizen. Xia Wanyuan beating them up like this is a terrorist attack to begin with. She’s not allowed to leave America. Please detain Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. ]

The audience in the comments were arguing anxiously. In the stadium, John was still acting pitiful to the camera.

At this moment, the cameras in the live-stream suddenly changed direction. Even John’s expression changed. He looked not far away in shock and anger. “What do you want?”

Just as he finished speaking, the camera moved over. Not far away, Jun Shiling was walking over with Xia Wanyuan, followed by more than ten guards.

John thought of the memories of being beaten up by these people in the corridor and hid behind the chair in fear.

Jun Shiling walked over and everyone retreated. In the end, Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan to the front of the stage.

“Since we’re going to hold a press conference, let’s do it together.” After Jun Shiling finished speaking, he gestured. The subordinate immediately inserted the USB drive he had brought into the press conference computer and the video began to play on the screen.
