Chapter 781 The Battle for the Shower Gel
“Alright, good boy. I was just joking. Sleep. Goodnight.” Bo Xiao smiled and stroked An Rao’s hair.
“Hmph.” An Rao snorted softly and rolled back into Bo Xiao’s arms.
In the An family, Father An and Mother An waited for a day but did not receive any reply from An Rao.
Father An, who had always been used to being obeyed, was angered by his daughter again. “Look at what you gave birth to. Her style is not proper and her actions are not right. Those people in my hometown mock me behind my back whenever An Rao is mentioned. Do you know that?!”
Back then, after Mother An got pregnant, the An family had gotten someone to check the gender of the fetus. The two of them had never wanted to give birth to An Rao, but in the end, because Father An was a politician, and it was the critical period for his promotion at that time, so Father An could not take the lead in doing such a thing that violated the policy. Hence, An Rao was born.
The quota of one child per family was used by An Rao just like that. It was her lifelong regret that Mother An did not give birth to a son. When An Rao slowly grew up and her temper was not disciplined, Mother An would be even more strict with her.
Now, because of An Rao, they were still being mocked behind her back even though they were already so old. At home, Father An kept blaming her for not knowing how to give birth. Mother An was furious, but she could not refute him.
“Just treat it as if I didn’t give birth to this daughter. Fortunately, An Lin is hardworking. I heard from An Lin that she is now very close to a professor at Qing University. That professor even brought her to Qing University for classes. She even met a classmate who said that he’s from the Wei family.” Seeing that her husband’s expression was getting worse, Mother An wanted to say something to make him happy.
As expected, Father An’s interest was piqued when he heard about the Wei family. “The Wei family? Lin’er is indeed outstanding. The people she knows are also very outstanding. Ask her to get along with them properly. If she needs money or anything, just get it from
me.”
“Okay.” Seeing her husband’s expression turn from gloomy to sunny, Mrs. An sighed in her heart. Why isn’t An Lin my biological daughter?
The next morning, just as the sky lit up, the alarm beside Xia Wanyuan’s bed rang.
Xia Wanyuan yawned and wanted to turn off the alarm when Jun Shiling, who was hugging her, reached out to press the alarm.
Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket and was about to get up when Jun Shiling pulled her back.
“What?” Xia Wanyuan, who had just woken up, spoke with a nasal voice, looking like she was acting coquettishly. “I’m going to receive that Master Danny today. There are many things to do in school. I want to go early.”
Jun Shiling leaned over and buried himself in Xia Wanyuan’s neck, causing her to laugh coquettishly. “It’s so ticklish.”
“Lie down for a while. I’ll call you ten minutes later.” Jun Shiling sniffed Xia Wanyuan’s scent and was a little confused. “Why are you so fragrant when we use the same shower gel?”
“… Nonsense. The men’s version you use is naturally not as fragrant as mine.” In her previous life, when she lived in the palace, the maids had also prepared bath products made of all kinds of incense for Xia Wanyuan, but they were indeed not as good as these modern tricks.
“I want to use yours today too. You smell so good.” Jun Shiling could not help but smell it again. It was faint and sweet, and he could only smell it when he was close. Thinking that only he could smell this scent on Xia Wanyuan, Jun Shiling was instantly excited.
“Go away.” Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun Shiling. “You’re talking nonsense again so early in the morning. If you want to use the ladies’ shower gel, use it. Don’t use me as a cover.”
“I want to try it tonight.” Jun Shiling did not think of anything else. He mainly wanted to know why Xia Wanyuan’s smell was so alluring.
“Get up. If you dare to torture me now, don’t even think of entering the main building tonight.” Sensing Jun Shiling’s fiery impulse, Xia Wanyuan pushed him angrily.
“There’s still five minutes. Lie down for a while more.” Even if they stayed together every day, Jun Shiling felt that he could not hug Xia Wanyuan enough.
Jun Shiling buried his head in her neck, and the heat pounced on her skin. Xia Wanyuan felt extremely hot, while Jun Shiling wrapped himself around her like a snow leopard, making her unable to move.
Xia Wanyuan felt that it had been a long time before Jun Shiling finally picked her up reluctantly. “That Danny, he doesn’t know how to admire watercolor paintings. Why must you pick him up?”
“The school asked me to go. Quick, help me put on my clothes. It’ll be too late later.” Xia Wanyuan was already used to asking Jun Shiling to help her. Although she said that it was too late, she leaned lazily on the bed and did not move.
“Okay.” Jun Shiling smiled and helped her put on her clothes, then patiently tied her shoelaces. “It’ll be hard on you today.”
“It’s okay. Isn’t it normal to work hard?” After putting on her shoes, Xia Wanyuan was pulled down by Jun Shiling for breakfast.
The two of them woke up early that day and Xiao Bao was still asleep. After the two of them ate, Jun Shiling suggested sending Xia Wanyuan.
“You’re not going to work?” Xia Wanyuan planned to go to school herself.
“Grandpa is getting discharged today. I’ll accompany him back to the courtyard and pick you up tonight.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. After returning from America, Xia Wanyuan had gone to visit Old Master once. His recovery was very good. Old Master knew that she was busy, so he tried not to let her go over. Now that he was discharged, it was time for her to go and check on him.

“Mom, do you think Xia Wanyuan will take this opportunity to look for Master Danny?” In the hotel, Li Na had woken up very early. Thinking that she was going to Qing University today, she felt a little uneasy.
“So what if she did?” Lin Man was very calm. “You have to know that there’s nothing in this world that money can’t settle. Don’t worry, even if she did, Mommy has a way to make her never open her mouth.”
Li Na had always trusted Lin Man. Hearing Lin Man’s words, Li Na was relieved.
“Miss Li Na, Master Danny asked me to ask if you’re ready. The car sent by the Qing University has arrived.”
“I’m ready. I’ll go down now.” Li Na picked up her bag and kissed Lin Man on both her cheeks before leaving the house.
At the Qing entrance, the stone lion stood tall with a ribbon around its neck. The students stood on both sides with fresh flowers in their hands, looking forward to this legendary master of the international painting industry.
“Come, Professor Xia, take this flower and give it to Master Danny later.” As the person in charge of the Qing University’s looks, things like giving flowers had already been tacitly handed to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan took the flowers. “Okay.”
Such exchange procedures had detailed schedules. According to the plan, the car that was sent should be back at half-past nine. However, the school leader looked at his watch. It was already ten o’clock, but the car was still not back.
The originally enthusiastic students seemed a little dispirited.
Another hour and a half passed. It was more than an hour away from half-past nine, the originally agreed timing. The team began to discuss.
“Hey, they’re here, they’re here. Isn’t that the car our school sent out?” Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person noticed the car driving towards the school gate.
