Chapter 408: Madam, You Care About the World
Jun Shiling had a meeting in the afternoon and was delayed. When Xia Wanyuan returned, he and Xiao Bao had not returned yet.
Xia Wanyuan kept the watermelon in the fridge for a while, while she called Han Xu. Han Xu was an honest person, and he talked non-stop about his professionalism.
It was only an hour later that Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone when she saw Jun Shiling and the rest return.
The nanny served the watermelon and Xiao Bao took a bite.
“Mommy, you’re the best to me. Daddy didn’t even give me a sip of sugar water.” Xiao Bao bit into a melon pulp as he complained to Xia Wanyuan about Jun Shiling.
“Your teeth are bad, so you can only eat this small piece.” Xia Wanyuan ignored Xiao Bao’s hint and patted his head with a smile.
“Okay, then I’ll eat this small piece. I’m the most obedient and listen to Mommy the most.”
Jun Shiling’s hands itched as he watched from the side. He did not know who had just thrown a tantrum in the office and acted cute for a milk candy, but he was as obedient as anything now.
From the moment he entered, Xia Wanyuan sensed Jun Shiling’s somewhat bitter gaze. After thinking about it, she seemed to have not called Jun Shiling at all today. According to his usual habits, he probably felt unhappy.
Xia Wanyuan picked up a piece of watermelon and brought it to Jun Shiling’s mouth. “Try it. Is this watermelon delicious?”
Jun Shiling lowered his head and took a bite. A smile finally appeared on his face. “Not bad. It should be from Dongshan.”
“You can even tell this? Impressive.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. That couple did say that they were from Dongshan.
Sensing the admiration in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, the corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up even more.
Jun Shiling picked Xiao Bao up and waved at the servant. “Bring him to take a shower. He’s been jumping around for the entire day.”
Xiao Bao looked reluctantly at the half-eaten watermelon on the table. After protesting to no avail, he obediently took a shower.
After Xiao Bao was carried away, the other servants tactfully left the hall.
“I’ll throw this brat to kindergarten tomorrow.” Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and sat on the sofa, kissing her on the cheek.
“You…” Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling in amusement. “Xiao Bao was just shocked. What’s wrong with accompanying him for a few days?”
“I don’t want to accompany him. I want to accompany you.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes.
“…” Xia Wanyuan wanted to say that he was your biological son. Is there anyone like you?
After adjusting herself into a comfortable position in Jun Shiling’s arms, Xia Wanyuan tugged at Jun Shiling’s arm. “I have something to ask you.”
Jun Shiling was delighted to see Xia Wanyuan’s lazy expression. He lowered his head and kissed her. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“If I want to build a raw material production area and the passage transported out of this raw material production area is very inconvenient, what should I do?”
“If there’s a mountain, build a road. If there’s water, build a bridge. This isn’t difficult.”
“Then does it require a very complicated procedure?”
In her previous life in the Xia Dynasty, all the official roads and repairs were in the hands of the Imperial Court. It was basically impossible for private repairs to be done.
Although the modern world had let go of some power, these important projects were still controlled very tightly.
“Throw the brat to Grandpa’s house this week. The procedures are simple.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with a deep gaze.
“I’m serious.” Xia Wanyuan sat up from Jun Shiling’s arms, her earlobes red.
“Alright, alright.” Seeing that he had teased her too much, Jun Shiling hurriedly pacified her. “Tell me what you want to do, and I’ll help you go through the procedures.”
Hence, Xia Wanyuan lay back down and chatted with Jun Shiling about the couple and the Bai Xiang Company.
Han Xu’s legacy secret recipe was not only on plum wine. Their Han family had been good at using all kinds of fruits to make wine since a long time ago, and Han Xu had many other recipes.
Coincidentally, she bumped into that couple today, so Xia Wanyuan had some thoughts.
After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, seeing that Jun Shiling was silent, she turned to ask him, “What’s wrong?”
“I keep feeling…” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan with his deep eyes and paused for a moment before continuing, “Madam, you care about the world.”
Jun Shiling’s tone was filled with seriousness. From the donation of the income from Yuan Wanxia’s paintings to forests in the west, to buying watermelons to repair the roads and help the poor.
Many a time, Jun Shiling could see the breadth of extraordinary women in Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment. At a certain moment, she seemed to have seen Jun Shiling’s understanding gaze. However, very quickly, she only saw a deep look in his phoenix eyes that hid all his emotions.
“No way. I just want to earn more money. After all, I still owe CEO Jun 50 million dollars.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. Perhaps because she had been used to governing in her previous life, she sometimes thought that since she had the ability, there was no harm in helping these people.
“Mm,” Jun Shiling replied softly and did not probe further. However, Xia Wanyuan did not know if he believed her words.
Seeing that Jun Shiling was looking down and thinking about something, Xia Wanyuan took the initiative to pull his hand, subconsciously wanting to ease the silent atmosphere between the two of them.
“I’m going to the award ceremony in two days. Can you help me choose my gown?”
