Jun Shiling was stunned for a moment, and his eyes darkened. He took the chopsticks and quickly finished half the bowl of noodles.
âYouâ¦â Xia Wanyuan had just opened her mouth when Jun Shiling came over and shut her up.
âDaddy! Are you bullying mommy?â
Xia Wanyuanâs teeth had just been knocked open when Xiao Baoâs doubtful voice came from upstairs.
Xia Wanyuan quickly pushed Jun Shiling away and turned around to see Xiao Bao in his teddy bear pajamas walking down the stairs.
un Shiling pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Bao, who was running over in a hurry. His expression was very bad, and there was a nameless anger in his heart.
âMommy, did daddy bully you? Iâl help you hit him!â Xiao Bao looked at Xia Wanyuan with concem, his big eyes sparkling.
âNo, are you hungry? Come and eat,â Xia Wanyuan said as she picked up a custard bun from the table and handed it to Xiao Bao.
But Xiao Bao was not tempted by the food. Instead, he ran to Jun Shiling, âDaddy, if you bully Mommy again, Iâm going to hit you.â
Mommyâs mouth was swollen. I could see it all. Bad Daddy.
âIf you donât eat properly, Iâll get someone to send you back to the country in ten minutes.â Jun Shilingâs face was cold as he carried Xiao Bao to the chair and sat him down.
Xiao Bao twisted his body symbolically. Under Jun Shilingâs gaze, he became obedient.
After dinner, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan played with Xiao Bao on the beach for a long time.
From the time he went to Fujian with Xia Wanyuan a long time ago, Jun Shiling knew that Xia Wanyuan loved the sea and the beach.
âWeâll be going back in the afternoon. When we have time in the future, welll come over to play.â Jun Shilingâs eyes were full of smiles as he watched Xia Wanyuan having fun.
âOkay.â Xia Wanyuan buried her feet in the sand. The moist sand felt cool, causing Xia Wanyuanâs eyes to sparkle.
âYou like this place so much?â
âYes.â Xia Wanyuan nodded.
It was not only because the scenery here was beautiful, but also because everything here was done by Jun Shiling according to her preferences. She could feel herself being treasured.
âThis summer will be over soon. Next summer, we will transform the manor into a beach. At that time, you will feel like you are at the beach every day.â Jun Shiling looked like a fatuous ruler.
â âXia Wanâan was stunned by this baseless idea. She smiled helplessly. âJun Shiling, if you were in ancient times, would you be like King You of Zhou and King Yuan of Shang?â
âDo I treat you well?â Jun Shiling reached out to hold Xia Wanyuanâs feet that had been moving in the sand. Her white feet against the sand made him feel hot.
âYes.â Xia Wanyuan nodded.
âThen donât eat what others bought for you. Donât use what others gave you, okay?â Jun Shiling was still brooding over the pastries.
âWhy are you so jealous?â Xia Wanyuan grabbed Jun Shilingâs arm and kicked him lightly.
There was a lot of sand on Jun Shilingâs white shirt.
âCan you do it?â Jun Shiling glanced at his dirty clothes and simply held both of her feet.
âWhat can you do to me if I donât:
âAs soon as Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, she felt an itch on her feet. Xia Wanyuan was very ticklish, and when Jun Shiling scratched her lightly, she immediately laughed and rolled into a ball.
Seeing how Xia Wanyuan was smiling with tears in her eyes, Jun Shilingâs eyes flickered. His hand that was holding Xia Wanyuanâs ankle gradually moved up.
âThe temperature between the two gradually rose.
âMommy! I caught a crab!â Xiao Baoâs cute voice floated over from the sea breeze.
Today, Xiao Bao, who was dressed in a crab suit, was holding a huge crab that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem harmonious.
Xia Wanyuan shook off Jun Shilingâs hand and got up to play with Xiao Bao.
Jun Shiling tightened his grip. If I had known earlier, I wouldnât have brought this brat along.
The blue sky, the white clouds, the sunny beach⦠How many things could have happened between me and Xia Wanyuan? Just thinking about it made my heart sway. Just because of this brat, everything had been ruined.
Not far away, Xiao Bao was still unaware of the tragic life he was about to experience. He was foolishly showing off his spoils of war to Xia Wanyuan.
After lunch on the island, Jun Shiling left the place with them.
âThe moment the plane landed, Xia Wanyuan received Chen Yunâs call.
âWanyuan, do you want to make a trip to the studio? I think Tang Yinâs mood is not quite right.â Chen Yun secretly called Xia Wanyuan outside the office while carefully observing Tang Yinâs situation not far away.
âOkay.â Xia Wanyuan hung up and asked Jun Shiling to send her to the studio.
âTang Yin obviously didnât expect Xia Wanyuan to come over. She, who was still in a daze, quickly stood up.
âDid Chen Yun say something to you? You donât have to bother with him. Iâm just in a bad mood.â Tang Yinâs eyes were red as she spoke.
âDid you see Liu Xingchuan again?â Xia Wanyuan guessed when she saw Tang Yinâs expression.
âTang Yin did not deny it.
An hour ago, she passed by the Imperial Capital Park. It was the time when the flowers bloomed. She was attracted by the fragrance of the flowers and went to the garden to admire the flowers. However, she did not expect to meet Liu Xingchuan, who was picking flowers.
She turned to leave, but Liu Xingchuan stopped her and even gave Tang Yin the bouquet of flowers in his hands.
At that time, Tang Yin threw the flowers on the ground and left resolutely. However, no one knew that her heart was pierced by a knife.
âTang Yin brewed a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan and pulled her to sit on the sofa. âMy family is poor. I dropped out of middle school and came to Beijing. The day I met Liu Xingchuan, he was a top student at the Beijing Film Academy. I was a handyman on the production team.
âThat day, the production team was filming at the Film Academy, in their garden. That year, the gardenia flowers bloomed very well.â At this point, Tang Yin paused and looked at the two gardenia flowers on the table, her eyes filled with a sad smile.
âWe fell in love at first sight, but it was only for half a year. Their family went bankrupt and he never recovered.
âAt that time, I had already started being a manager. He was my first artiste. Do you know how a rural woman without any background managed to promote a defeated person to the position of Best Actor?â
âAs Tang Yin spoke, tears rolled in her eyes. Those years were too bitter.
âBut those hardships were actually nothing. Later on, he became the Best Actor and I gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. I thought that we would have a smooth-sailing future.
âThe night he proposed to me, I, who usually donât even touch alcohol, drank a lot of wine. When I woke up the next day, I was lying beside him.â
At this point, Tang Yin paused for a moment. Her fingernails dug deep into her palms. âLying on the bed was a man I didnât know. He and Shi Tian opened the door just like that, held hands, and then told me that he was going to marry Shi Tian.â
Even after so long, when she recalled the scene back then, Tang Yin still felt as if someone was choking her and she could not breathe.
She had never told anyone about this.
Back then, for the sake of Liu Xingchuanâs popularity, very few people knew about their relationship.
âWhen she left the entertainment industry five years ago, everyone thought that she had stepped into Shi Tian and Liu Xingchuanâs relationship and left because she had failed.
However, no one knew that she was the woman who had accompanied Liu Xingchuan through all the difficulties, sent him to the highest point, and stayed by his side.
Xia Wanyuan had already guessed what had happened to Tang Yin. After listening to Tang Yinâs story, it was not much different from what she had expected.
âHeâs not worth it.â Xia Wanyuan patted the back of Tang Yinâs hand.
âI know.â Tang Yin nodded. However, that man was the man she had loved with all her youth. Even though she had lost all hope in him, her heart still ached at the thought of him.
Xia Wanyuan knew that any words of comfort at this moment were powerless. She did not know how Tang Yin had managed to endure all these years.
âTl give you a few days off. Go out for a walk and change your mood,â Xia Wanyuan said as she transferred a sum of money to Tang Yin. âBuy whatever you want. If itâs not enough, ask me for reimbursement.â
Tears welled up in Tang Yinâs eyes when she saw the notification.
She once thought that meeting Liu Xingchuan was the luckiest thing in her life.
It was only later that she found out it was not when she had met Xia Wanyuan.
After leaving the studio, Xia Wanyuan asked Director Li Heng for Yan Ciâs phone number.
Yan Ci, who had just finished filming a commercial, was resting on a chair when his manager brought his phone over.
âYan Ci, your phone is ringing. Answer it.â
JYan Ci took a look. It was an unknown number.
âSpam call,â Yan Ci said and hung up.
But the phone rang again. Yan Ci answered the call.
âYan Ci, 1am Xia Wanyuan.â
Yan Ci dropped his fan..
