Chapter 441: Master Jun’s Wish Came True!!!

Jun Shiling did not move but looked at Xia Wanyuan extremely seriously for a while. Meeting Jun Shiling’s burning eyes, the corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up into a smile.

This smile broke all of Jun Shiling’s self-control. The cold smell of pine filled the air as it smashed down on Xia Wanyuan.

After a long time, Jun Shiling held on and did not move. Veins appeared on his arms and his forehead was covered in sweat. Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes to look at him, her eyes watery.

There was a strong love in Jun Shiling’s eyes. This love made everything in her previous life float, and the sadness and bitterness became part of another life. Xia Wanyuan smiled at Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s hand and interlocked their fingers. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Just as Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling fell silent.

Xia Wanyuan felt like she was a small boat. In the endless sea, she faced huge waves. At one moment, she was thrown high by the huge waves, and at the next, she was smashed by the huge waves.

However, the pine fragrance that surrounded her had always protected her in her arms, without relaxing at all.

After some time, Xia Wanyuan felt that the small boat was about to scatter into ruins.

“Jun Shiling.” Xia Wanyuan’s voice was filled with tears.

Xia Wanyuan did not know that Jun Shiling liked her sobbing tone the most.

Sensing that the heat there had increased again, Xia Wanyuan could not help but hit Jun Shiling. “No, get out.”

Jun Shiling chuckled and grabbed Xia Wanyuan’s fist. “This is the last time, okay?”

“You’re lying! You said it was the last time just now!” Xia Wanyuan wanted to struggle, but it only aroused Jun Shiling’s passion.

The huge wave attacked again. Jun Shiling was an extremely strong person to begin with. Normally, his extremely gentle side was given to Xia Wanyuan. Now, in this situation, he displayed all his aura.

In a daze, Xia Wanyuan looked up at the window. The sky was beginning to brighten.

“Jun Shiling, why are you still-?” Xia Wanyuan felt that she was about to melt.

“Can this be the last time?” Jun Shiling tasted the ultimate delicacy and did not want to leave her for even a second.

“Out.” Xia Wanyuan used all her strength to say the only violent thing she had said in her two lifetimes.

Jun Shiling was amused by the scolding and hugged her reluctantly. “Alright, then sleep for a while. I’ll clean you up.”

Xia Wanyuan was tired and sleepy, so she fell asleep very quickly. Jun Shiling carefully cleaned her up and changed the clean blanket before letting her in contentedly.

Jun Shiling could not sleep at all. He lay there quietly and recalled every moment since he had met Xia Wanyuan. Unknowingly, he had looked at Xia Wanyuan for the entire night.

Shen Qian had never let down Xia Wanyuan’s trust. This time, he still completed the mission successfully. He first discussed the acquisition plan with Jin Xiu Workshop and then followed the vine of Jin Xiu Workshop to find other embroidery workshops with overly high quality.

In just two days, the acquisition contract for the ten embroidery workshops had been signed. Shen Qian called Xia Wanyuan a few times but no one picked up. He could only send the electronic version of the contract to Xia Wanyuan’s phone.

Wei Zimu had once gone to the hotel to look for Xia Wanyuan, but the hotel staff told him that Xia Wanyuan had not returned for the entire night, so Wei Zimu could only return to his residence.

“Brother, she’s just a woman. If you like her, I’ll help you catch her.”

Wei Zimu had just entered the room when he saw someone sitting on the sofa.

All the lights in the room were switched on, just like how this person used to. No matter where she went, the lights were lit, and no darkness was allowed.

However, this person’s existence was clearly the greatest darkness.

The handsome side profile turned around. It was a very gentle arc and he looked scholarly. That smiling face was one that he was extremely familiar with. It was a face that he could see in the mirror every day.

“I’ve warned you many times. Don’t touch her.” Wei Zimu was usually very gentle, but facing this younger brother of his, who had the deepest relationship with his bloodline, his gentle eyes were filled with disgust.

“Ha.” The person on the sofa smiled disdainfully as if he had seen a joke. “Brother, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? My people have searched for so long but haven’t found her address. Brother, do you really think that woman is so simple?”

“It’s none of your business. I’ll continue with the Wei family’s matters. Try touching her if you dare.” Wei Zimu’s voice turned cold as he looked straight into the eyes of the person in the room. The two pairs of eyes that were almost identical had different temperaments.

A few seconds later, Wei Zimu took a few steps back and closed the door forcefully. He did not want to enter the place where this person had stayed before.

The door was knocked loudly. “Do you think I won’t touch her just because you told me not to? I’m going to touch her anyway.” The person in the room chuckled. “Xia Wanyuan? Her eyes are quite pretty.”

A pair of icy eyes covered in smoke appeared in his mind. The corners of the person in the house curled up.

It was clearly an extremely gentle face, but when he smiled, there was no warmth in his eyes. Instead, it made one’s heart tremble.

Xia Wanyuan slept especially long. She did not wake up until the next afternoon.

Hence, she did not know that the set of photos taken by a photographer when she had walked in the rain alley was posted online. It had already exploded.

Chapter 442: Entire Internet Looking for a Model in the Rain

The sunlight outside the window slowly swam. In the blink of an eye, it was already five o’clock the next day. It was almost night time.

Even though Jun Shiling had not slept the entire night, he was still very energetic. He got up, washed up, ate some food, and when he came back to take a look, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were still closed.

The air in the house was a little stuffy. Jun Shiling opened the window and the wind outside blew across the pond, bringing some moisture in.

The faint fragrance of the lotus flowers wafted to her nose. Xia Wanyuan finally opened her eyes.

She wanted to get up as usual, but the slightest movement caused her entire body to ache as if it had been torn apart and reassembled. Xia Wanyuan gasped.

Hearing movement, Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over. “What’s wrong?”

Jun Shiling reached out to help her. Xia Wanyuan glanced at him warily and shrank back. “Don’t come over.”

Jun Shiling’s hand paused in midair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I promise I won’t do anything.”

“I don’t believe you. That’s what you said last night.” Didn’t you say it was the last time, and the last time again, last night? In the end, it didn’t stop until morning. (italics)

Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention last night, Jun Shiling recalled the feeling of having his bones corroded again. His eyes immediately darkened. However, seeing Xia Wanyuan frown, Jun Shiling suppressed the impulse in his heart and stepped forward to grab Xia Wanyuan’s hand.

“I promise I won’t do anything. Let me see how you’re doing.” Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan’s clothes. A large red mark and bruise entered his eyes.

“How could this be?” Heartache surged in Jun Shiling’s eyes, and he felt extremely guilty.

“Hmph.” Xia Wanyuan snorted. “How dare you say that?”

“I’m sorry, I’ll apply some medicine for you.” Jun Shiling carried her out heartbrokenly, took the ointment by the side, and carefully applied the medicine for her.

Xia Wanyuan was originally angry because Jun Shiling would not let her go no matter how much she begged him last night.

However, under Jun Shiling’s extremely cherished actions, Xia Wanyuan’s anger gradually subsided.

“I’m hungry.” Xia Wanyuan’s stomach hurt.

“I’ll get someone to send it in.”

Soon, the servant brought in plates of food. Xia Wanyuan sat on his lap. With so many people coming in, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and shrank into Jun Shiling’s arms in embarrassment.

Jun Shiling was pleased by this cat’s coquettish actions. His heart melted as he reached for the bowl and chopsticks and fed Xia Wanyuan bit by bit.

After the meal, Xia Wanyuan lazily did not want to move. She directly used Jun Shiling as a chair, a chair that could move around.

“I want to go out and see the lotus flowers.” Xia Wanyuan pointed outside.

“Okay.” Jun Shiling carried her into the pavilion and stopped working. He sat specially with Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan was very tired and chatted in a non-sequential manner with Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling was not angry and accompanied her patiently.

The setting sun shone a warm yellow light on the two people sitting together in the pavilion. The lake was sparkling and the lotus flowers were leisurely emitting a dark fragrance.

———

Suhang Ancient Town had always been the place where every photographer loved. Among the people who filmed Xia Wanyuan walking in the rain that day, there was a photographer from “China Geography”.

“China Geography” was the most popular geographic human language magazine in China. This geographic magazine was opened by the Chinese relevant department. The photos taken usually were of high quality, so there were many fans.

Recently, the country was working on an international publicity film for “Beautiful China”. “China Geography” often released some photos for selection to seek the opinions of the netizens.

That day, the Chinese Geographic Journal published a set of photos called “Jiangnan in the Rain”.

In the photo, there were green tiles, white walls, and a drizzle. On the long limestone road, a woman in green was holding a bamboo umbrella. Under the umbrella, a fair chin was revealed. Her hair was tied up, revealing a jade-like goose neck.

Her appearance could not be seen clearly in the haze, but the elegant aura that enshrouded her made one enter the ancient town from a thousand years ago.

It also reminded oneof the “lilac-like girl” that the romantic Dai Wangshu had caught a glimpse of in the rainy alley a century ago.

More and more netizens reposted it. This photo was immediately trending. Countless people asked under the comments who this model was.

However, “China Geography”, who was asked, did not know. Because the photographer had casually taken a photo by the roadside, the photographer did not see this person’s face.

The Chinese people were familiar with that “Rain Alley”. The girl who had raindrops and fragrance like a lilac had appeared in the book countless times.

And now, this picture seemed to let people see the lilac-like girl walk out of the book into the drizzle.

The entire Internet began to search for “Lilac Lady”.

Chapter 443: You Look Good

It was not easy to find the “Lilac Lady” in the rain. After all, there were many people coming and going in Suhang Ancient Town every day. There was no human face in this photo, only a fair chin.

In the fan group of a certain Xia Wanyuan named “Little Dumpling”, someone saw this photo and shared it in the group. He carefully said, “Don’t you think this photo looks a little like our Yuan Yuan?”

The other fans opened the photos and took a look. “Yes, they really look alike.”

Fans had always been extremely familiar with their idol. Even with a glance or a small movement, they could recognize their idol in the crowd.

Xia Wanyuan’s temperament was very unique. When the fans saw her elegant temperament, they felt that she was their idol, Xia Wanyuan.

“Shh, don’t go out and spout nonsense. If it’s not, we’re going to make things difficult for Yuan Yuan again. Squat down and take a proper look before admitting.”

After the last time they had wanted to post an airport photo to help promote Xia Wanyuan, they had caused Xia Wanyuan to be scolded for reading books as an act. Xia Wanyuan’s fans had learned their lesson and were no longer so rash.

——

After sitting in the garden for a long time and eating dinner, Xia Wanyuan finally recovered and began to read the contract Shen Qian had sent her. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she called Shen Qian and arranged the rest.

“It’s been hard on you. There’s a lot to do.”

“CEO Xia, you must be joking. If not for you, I would still be in prison.” Xia Wanyuan had provided him with such a wide platform. Shen Qian respected Xia Wanyuan very much from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Jun Shiling, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at her quietly. “You’re finally hanging up.”

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him. “Why are you so jealous about work?”

Jun Shiling snorted coldly and stepped forward to hug Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan looked at the darkening sky and subconsciously shrank back. “What are you doing?”

Jun Shiling picked her up helplessly. “Sleep. I promise I won’t do anything. I haven’t slept in two days. I’m sleepy. Let’s set off to Beijing tomorrow.”

Jun Shiling’s repeated “last time” last night made Xia Wanyuan very suspicious of his words.

However, Jun Shiling’s heart did ache for Xia Wanyuan. He hugged her and did nothing, feeling warm inside. Xia Wanyuan had wanted to keep a distance from Jun Shiling in case he came again.

However, the habit she had developed for a long time made her not last three minutes before she subconsciously hugged Jun Shiling back.

The corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up. His arms were full, and his heart was filled. He tightened his arms and hugged her tighter. He lowered his head and kissed her hair.

“Good night.”

“Okay. Good night.”

It was a good night’s sleep.

Xia Wanyuan had slept especially long these two days. Originally, they planned to go back in the morning, but as Xia Wanyuan did not wake up, they changed it to the afternoon.

Near noon, Xia Wanyuan finally opened her eyes. A pair of deep eyes was looking at her.

Her body still hurt a little, and she felt sore every time she moved. Xia Wanyuan punched Jun Shiling angrily.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had hit him the moment she woke up, Jun Shiling grabbed her hand inexplicably.

“When did you wake up?”

“Seven o’clock.” Jun Shiling had slept very regularly for many years.

“Then why are you lying here?”

“Mm, I’ll lie down and look at you.” A smile appeared in Jun Shiling’s eyes, and he added, “You look good.”

Chapter 444: Bai Lian is Lilac Lady?

Xia Wanyuan’s face heated up. “Get up and eat. I’m hungry.”

“Mm, I’m hungry too.” Just as Jun Shiling finished speaking, he retracted his long arm, and the cold pine fragrance opened Xia Wanyuan’s mouth, plundering inside.

After a while, Jun Shiling moved away. His heavy breathing sprayed into Xia Wanyuan’s ear. Without needing Xia Wanyuan to say anything, Jun Shiling had already lifted the blanket and started to put on his clothes. If this continued, he would not be able to resist.

God knew how wonderful Xia Wanyuan’s taste was.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to get out of bed, but Jun Shiling, who was dressed, walked over with Xia Wanyuan’s clothes. “Don’t move, I’ll help you.”

Women’s clothes had very troublesome designs, so Jun Shiling was a little slow. He helped Xia Wanyuan put them on one by one, then took the shoes by the side and squatted on the ground to help her put them on.

Xia Wanyuan sat on the bed and watched Jun Shiling put on her shoes seriously. Her gaze changed, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Jun Shiling really used all his gentleness and patience on Xia Wanyuan. He helped her brush her teeth, wash her face, and eat. He did everything personally.

Xia Wanyuan was not a delicate person, but she felt that if Jun Shiling indulged her like this, she would really become a person who “just opened her mouth to eat and stretched out her hands for clothes”.

“Jun Shiling, it’s not like I don’t have hands.” Xia Wanyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that Jun Shiling still wanted to carry her out the door, Xia Wanyuan rejected him sternly.

“I can’t help it.” Jun Shiling’s gaze lingered on Xia Wanyuan.

Perhaps when one loved someone, they could not help but want to be good to her. They wanted to pile all the good things in the world in front of her.

Other than in bed, Jun Shiling always kept his word.

He said to let Xia Wanyuan rest well and recuperate well. Occasionally, he would not resist kissing her, but other times, he was very well-behaved.

————

Xia Wanyuan had just returned to the manor when Tang Yin called to ask Xia Wanyuan about the photo in Suhang Ancient Town. The temperament on Xia Wanyuan was too obvious. Someone close to her would know it was her at a glance.

Xia Wanyuan looked at the photo. “Yes, it’s me. I don’t know when I was taken.”

Tang Yin had yet to tell the public relations team that they would use this “Lilac Lady” as an opportunity to promote Xia Wanyuan.

The Internet had already exploded.

Because “Lilac Lady” had been found.

The dress that the woman in the picture was wearing was clearly from the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. It was exquisite and gorgeous. Someone followed the clues and found the shop that sold this dress.

According to the salesperson, this dress was bought by a celebrity who had come to Suzhou to film a variety show.

The range had shrunk greatly.

Everyone was about to find who had recorded the program in Suhang that day when Bai Lian’s studio posted a Weibo post.

Without a word, this Weibo post posted nine photos.

With Jiangnan Misty Rain as the background, Bai Lian was wearing the embroidered dress in the picture posted by “China Geography”. She was holding an umbrella, either leaning on the bridge or walking on the limestone street.

Ever since Bai Lian debuted, she had been called Cuddlie because she had a pitiful temperament.

In this set of photos, Bai Lian’s pitiful temperament matched the misty storm in Jiangnan. She had a very melancholic temperament.

Bai Lian happened to be involved in the recording of “Singer”, and her schedule was in Suhang Ancient Town.

At this point, everyone was almost certain that Bai Lian was the “Lilac Lady” who was popular all over the Internet and had been captured by “China Geography”.

Chapter 445: The Truth Was Exposed Abroad

Bai Lian was originally a female celebrity who was between the A-list and B-list rankings. After accepting the second female lead of “Above the Moon Palace”, because of the large production team, many people had suspected that Bai Lian’s role did not match her celebrity status.

However, once this group of photos of Lilac Lady became popular, almost all the public opinion favored her. Everyone’s impression of her soared, and they felt that such a person acting as the Chang’e Fairy of “The Moon Palace” was more suitable.

However, amidst the praises and praises, some people raised doubts.

[ Why do I feel that Bai Lian doesn’t have that temperament? That cold aura is simply overwhelming in the photo of ‘China Geography’. Bai Lian’s photo doesn’t have that attractive temperament. ]

[ It might be a problem with the photographer too. After all, he’s a professional photographer for ‘China Geography’. Our Bai Lian’s one is just an ordinary photographer. He’s definitely not that amazing. ]

[ The person in front, our Bai Lian doesn’t have that temperament. Could it be that you do?? If you’re capable, go on. There are so many lechers and sour haters nowadays. I think you’re just jealous of our Bai Lian’s popularity. ]

Bai Lian Studio’s photos had been posted for a day, but no one questioned it openly. Hence, everyone tacitly agreed that the person in the stunning photo was Bai Lian.

As the place where photographers loved to take photos the most, the photographers of “China Geography” were naturally not the only ones taking photos there.

In recent years, China’s economic development had been improving. International people were very interested in this mysterious ancient country of the East. Many photographers from abroad were scattered across China.

As the top place in the country for photography, Suhang Ancient Town naturally had many famous photographers taking photos here. That day, under the hazy rain,

The cameramen who pressed the shutter were not only the photographers from “China Geography”, but also the cameraman from CBB TV in England.

However, the two of them were standing at different angles. The photographer for “China Geography” only took a chin, while the photographer for CBB TV only took a complete photo of the person.

Ever since “Lilac Lady” became popular, Bai Lian’s popularity soared.

One had to know that the photo of “China Geography” would appear in the international publicity film “China and its Beauty”. This meant that Bai Lian would appear in the publicity film as a spokesperson for the country.

Even though she only had a chin, the Chinese knew that she was Bai Lian. This meant that she had a huge commercial value.

Instantly, all kinds of endorsements came in waves, wanting to make this Lilac Lady their spokesperson.

Although the people of various countries had different types of people, everyone felt the same about beautiful things. At that time, the photographer from England, who had been amazed in Ancient Town, had taken a whole bunch of photos.

However, because of the language barrier and because he did not know how to use Chinese social media, he did not know anything about the “Lilac Lady” who was popular on the Internet.

After staying in the ancient town for another two to three days, this photographer from England stepped onto the road to return to the country with a full set of camera photos.

Ever since Prince Charlie’s visit to China, the two countries had been communicating more closely.

The England people were actually quite interested in this mysterious Eastern ancient country. In the news on the night of CBB TV, the host reported a visit to China using a scene of a Chinese woman slowly walking in the rain.

That night’s news viewership ratings blew up.
