Chapter 880: Waiting Is a Beautiful Word
The male subordinate, who had been single for 27 years and had been staying up late all year round, did not know how to answer Jun Shiling.
In the end, he could only force a smile. “Ha-ha-ha, Mrs. Jun is so virtuous and treats you so well.”
Jun Shiling nodded. “Indeed, she cares about me more. She’s afraid that I won’t be used to the food here.”
The surrounding employees thought to themselves, Hehe, CEO Jun, when have you ever eaten in the canteen?
However, on the surface, everyone looked envious. “CEO Jun, you’re too lucky. Mrs. Jun must love you very much!!”
Jun Shiling began to enjoy Xia Wanyuan’s food in a good mood.
However, the others in the canteen no longer had any appetite. The canteen is not good today. I have to give a bad review. Why does the food smell like dog food?
After finishing the four dishes, Jun Shiling finally stood up. He was very considerate of his subordinates. “Eat slowly. If you have any objections to the canteen, you can report to them.”
“Okay, okay!” Everyone watched Jun Shiling walk out of the canteen. No matter how they looked at him, they felt that Jun Shiling’s back exuded the aura of a victor.
Just as Jun Shiling left, a large group of Weibo posts from the employees of the Jun Corporation appeared in front of everyone.
“You won’t believe who I met at the cafeteria today!! CEO Jun!! In person!! He’s super handsome!”
[ Amazing, I also want to go to the Jun Corporation and meet Jun Shiling by chance. Unfortunately, the Jun Corporation doesn’t like me. ]
[Wow, Jun Shiling actually went to the canteen to eat. I always thought that the richest man’s meal was a simple Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.]
[Hehe, I’m also an employee of the Jun Corporation. You don’t know what kind of blow we suffered in the afternoon. CEO Jun isn’t here to eat. He’s here to show off that his wife sent him a love dinner.]
More and more employees appeared to explain how Jun Shiling abused the public and how heart-wrenching this way of showing off their love was.
The passers-by and netizens expressed their doubts.
Would the dignified head of the Jun Corporation be so childish?
However, not long after, Jun Shiling’s latest update told everyone the answer. Yes.
@ Jun Shiling: “I couldn’t go home because I was working overtime. My wife specially made dinner. It’s so delicious.”
The first four photos were of extremely tempting dishes. The fifth photo was of white rice that was sparkling and full. The last photo was of four plates that did not even have soup left and a clean bowl.
[… This food makes me hungry. It smells so good. Oh my god, I can already smell the cumin on that lamb chop. Can’t single people live?]
[Let me say this softly. CEO Jun, who shows off his love so publicly, looks a little silly. Will I be assassinated by Jun Shiling?]
[ Hahahaha, I agree with you. No matter how cold a man is, he will be so childish when he meets someone he likes. CEO Jun obviously likes his wife very much. Lemon surrounds me. ]
Lying on the sofa, Xia Wanyuan flipped through the netizens’ comments and shook her head with a smile. Why is this person so childish? He even showed off to the company.
“Mommy, can you play with me for a while?” Xiao Bao came out of nowhere and lay in front of Xia Wanyuan.
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan was about to get up when Tang Yin called.
“Hello, Tang Yin.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about your clothing store opening? It’s the day after tomorrow, right? Fu Li and I will definitely go.”
“I’m afraid I’ll waste your time.” Xia Wanyuan originally wanted to call Tang Yin, but considering that she was preparing for the wedding, she decided not to in the end.
“What are you saying? No matter how busy I am, I have to support you.” If not for Chen Yun’s slip of the tongue, she would not have known about this.
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan did not decline and agreed on a time with Tang Yin.
After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan played with Xiao Bao for a while. Even after she coaxed him to sleep, Jun Shiling was still not back.
Jun Shiling had an extremely long meeting and only returned to the manor at midnight.
Xia Wanyuan had already fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room. In a daze, she heard the sound of a car stopping outside. She yawned and stood up, wrapping herself in a blanket as she walked out the door.
Jun Shiling got out of the car. Just as he turned around, he saw Xia Wanyuan, wrapped in a blanket, walking out of the warm light. On this late autumn night, the place where Xia Wanyuan was standing seemed to have a ball of light, making one’s heart skip a beat.
Jun Shiling hurriedly walked up to Xia Wanyuan. “Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me?”
“Hug.” Xia Wanyuan yawned, her eyes watery as she reached out to Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling leaned over to fill her up and kissed her on the forehead. Then, he pulled her into the building. The temperature outside was too low, and he was worried that Xia Wanyuan would catch a cold.
“Don’t wait for me when I work overtime next time. Sleep by yourself first.” Jun Shiling accompanied Xia Wanyuan to the bed. “Sleep quickly. It’s very late. I’ll wash up when you fall asleep.”
“No, go wash up quickly. I’ll wait for you.” Xia Wanyuan was already very tired, but she still forced herself to stay awake.
Jun Shiling could only quickly wash up, then crawl under the blanket and kiss Xia Wanyuan on the cheek. “You have to wait for me no matter how late it is?”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes and nodded. “No matter how late you come back, I’ll wait for you at home.”
No matter how warm the blanket was, it could not be warmer than Jun Shiling’s current mood. If not for the fact that it was too late, Jun Shiling really wanted to let Xia Wanyuan feel how much he loved her over and over again.
“Goodnight, baby.” In the end, Jun Shiling only said this.
“Mm~ Night.” Xia Wanyuan finally fell asleep in relief.

An Rao thought that Bo Xiao would continue to torture her, but when she woke up, Bo Xiao was not beside her. Instead, he was sitting by the window. The sky was still dark, and Bo Xiao’s handsome side profile was reflected on the window, looking inexplicably bleak.
He had a cigarette in his hand. The cigarette butt was clearly extinguished. Bo Xiao spat out a mouthful of smoke, thinking about something.
An Rao had never seen Bo Xiao smoke before. At this moment, the expression on Bo Xiao’s face made her feel a little unfamiliar. “Bo Xiao, what’s wrong?”
Only then did Bo Xiao realize that An Rao was already awake. He hurriedly extinguished the cigarette and lay back beside An Rao.
The faint smell of tobacco came from Bo Xiao. An Rao felt very flustered. Her voice was trembling. “Bo Xiao.”
“Mm.” Bo Xiao buried his face in An Rao’s shoulder. “I want to tell my superior that I want to retire.”
“Why?” Although An Rao did not know Bo Xiao’s identity very well, she knew that at his level, very few people retired directly.
]Bo Xiao hesitated for a moment before telling An Rao the news he had received.
“Then, aren’t you running away?” An Rao clenched her fists nervously. Bo Xiao’s retirement was equivalent to telling everyone that he was a deserter.
An Rao recalled Bo Xiao’s expression when he was awarded the military title. At that time, his eyes were bright.
Bo Xiao was silent for a long time. “Yes, I’m a deserter.”
“For me?” An Rao was not stupid. She knew how proud Bo Xiao was to be able to protect his country. It was because of her that Bo Xiao gave up everything.
Bo Xiao tightened his grip on An Rao. “In the past, I wasn’t afraid of anything. I even felt that sacrificing my life for my country was an honor, but I’m afraid now.”
An Rao’s eyes were already filled with tears. She tried her best to control her emotions. “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you.”
