Chapter 214: Cough, I Can’t Hold On
When Nanny Li returned with a pile of things, she saw that the originally empty house was lively.
After stuffing the supplies into the fridge, Nanny Li received a ssage from the manor.
In the living room, Xiao Bao was playing with the little plane while Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and ate fruits.
“Young Master, Madam, I want to take a leave. My partner fell at ho accidentally and my children are not by his side. He called and asked to go back and take care of him.” Nanny Li walked out of the kitchen looking very anxious.
“It’s nothing. Go back. We can order takeout ourselves.” Xia Wanyuan took a strawberry and put it in her mouth, agreeing to Nanny Li’s leave.
“Okay, thank you, Madam.” With Xia Wanyuan’s permission, Nanny Li left the apartnt.
There were only three people left in the house.
“Xiao Bao, what do you want to eat?” After reading the entire book, Xia Wanyuan closed the book and looked at Xiao Bao.
“Mommy, I want to eat the noodles you made.” Xiao Bao kept playing with the toys in his hands. He thought of the delicious shredded at noodles that Xia Wanyuan had made last ti and drooled.
“Then I’ll make it for you.”
Xia Wanyuan entered the kitchen and Jun Shiling brought the little dumpling to the sofa.
“Daddy, what are you doing?” Xiao Bao waved his arms and legs in the air as he looked at Jun Shiling accusingly.
“Don’t think about eating this and that every day in the future. Your mother has worked hard. Don’t let her cook for you, do you hear ?”
Upon hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Xiao Bao stopped flapping his arms. His big eyes were filled with self-reproach. “Okay, Daddy.”
“Go and play.” After Jun Shiling warned Xiao Bao, he stood up and walked to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Xia Wanyuan was putting water in the pot and preparing to bring it to the stove.
“Let do it.” Jun Shiling strode over and stood beside Xia Wanyuan.
Seeing that Jun Shiling was boiling water, Xia Wanyuan wanted to wash the vegetables. Before her hand could touch them, Jun Shiling’s hand had already reached over.
“Why are you using your hands that play the zither to wash the vegetables?”
…….
Xia Wanyuan thought to herself, ‘This is also the hand that signs contracts worth billions’.
Xia Wanyuan was about to cut the vegetables when Jun Shiling took the knife.
Xia Wanyuan wanted to get the bowl, but Jun Shiling blocked the door.
“Can’t I even pick up a pair of chopsticks?” Xia Wanyuan was helpless.
“Okay, take it.” Jun Shiling made way for her, and Xia Wanyuan realized that Jun Shiling had already arranged the cutlery.
Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to advise Jun Shiling verbally.
“Wow! Mommy, you’re finally done!” Xiao Bao, whose stomach was rumbling, finally saw Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan appear at the kitchen door.
Xiao Bao eagerly sat on the chair, picked up a chopstick of noodles, and fed it to his mouth.
Huh? Why does it not taste right?
Xiao Bao was about to speak when he received Jun Shiling’s gaze. He quietly swallowed the noodles in his mouth and ate them obediently.
Although it could not compare to what Xia Wanyuan had made herself, Xia Wanyuan had been guiding him from the side. The taste was also not bad. The three of them finished the pot of noodles.
The child digested quickly. Xiao Bao bounced around until he was tired. He lay on the bed and fell asleep. Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling were still sitting on the balcony.
The moon was as cold as water and the lights were as bright as stars.
“Have you forgotten that you promised sothing?” Jun Shiling suddenly asked.
“What is it?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to compose a song for last ti?”
Hearing Jun Shiling’s words, Xia Wanyuan recalled that she had indeed agreed to Jun Shiling’s request the previous ti. In the end, she had been too busy these days and had been delayed.
“Let think of the lyrics for you first.”
“There’s no need. Just play a casual piece. It’s fine as long as it’s different from others.”
“Okay.” In order to deal with the production team of “I am a Superstar”, Xia Wanyuan had specially brought Feng Xiqin with her when she ca to the apartnt. Xia Wanyuan got up to go get the zither and returned not long after.
Xia Wanyuan sat on the ground and placed the zither on her lap. She casually made a tune, and a soothing lody spilled out of the simple zither.
That sense of history ca again. Jun Shiling’s eyes were deep. There were a few tis when Xia Wanyuan gave him a sense of history that exceeded the limits of ti and space. She was so graceful, noble, and elegant.
Xia Wanyuan flipped her fingers, and the light lody surrounded Jun Shiling, making him relax.
Xia Wanyuan humd softly to the tune.
Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan beside him.
If one were to say that Xia Wanyuan, who had smiled and said happy birthday to him in front of ten thousand lanterns, was as scorching as the sun.
Those countless peaceful monts were like a warm breeze in spring, gently blowing into his heart, making him infatuated with this faint but bone-deep gentleness.
“Alright, are you satisfied?” Ten minutes later, Xia Wanyuan put down the zither in her hand.
“Although I’ve heard you play the zither a few tis, you’re still very amazing this ti,” Jun Shiling said rather seriously.
Jun Shiling spoke sincerely, making Xia Wanyuan very happy. A small dimple appeared on her face.
She placed the zither aside and was about to stand up when she felt a numbing sensation in her legs and sat back down.
Jun Shiling sensed Xia Wanyuan’s discomfort and hurriedly walked to her. “Is your leg numb?”
“Mm, it’s probably because I sat here to play and didn’t move much, so my leg is numb.”
Xia Wanyuan was about to say that she would be fine after a short rest when she saw Jun Shiling squatting down.
“Bear with it.” Just as he finished speaking, Jun Shiling reached out and held Xia Wanyuan’s calves and ankles, helping her push and pull with great strength.
After a person’s legs turned numb, even the slightest movent would make them itch, let alone Jun Shiling’s large actions.
Xia Wanyuan felt a numbing pain that pierced straight into her heart. Although she didn’t want to cry, the pain still made her eyes tear up.
“It hurts. Be gentler.” Xia Wanyuan could not help but call out softly. Her delicate voice had a hint of trembling.
Jun Shiling looked up and t Xia Wanyuan’s teary eyes. Under the light, they were srizing.
The hand holding Xia Wanyuan’s ankle suddenly tightened. Jun Shiling’s throat rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse. “Speak properly.”
“But you’re hurting a little.” Xia Wanyuan was still conflicted about Jun Shiling’s strength. As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly.
She did not notice that Jun Shiling’s eyes had darkened.
“Xia Wanyuan,” Jun Shiling called out softly.
“Huh?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion, only to see Jun Shiling approaching her. In the end, he stopped when their noses were almost touching.
“Do you trust too much?” Jun Shiling stared intently into Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. Only then did Xia Wanyuan notice the flas that were about to burn in his eyes and the warmth that was about to burn her ankle by his touch.
