Chapter 45 - Blowing Hair
“Young Master, we’ve already contacted Xia Wanyuan’s manager.”
Xuan Sheng was wearing a silver-white shirt that was buttoned up to the third button. He leaned lazily on the car seat and had a teasing smile on his thin lips. When he heard his assistant, he tilted his head slightly, revealing the beautiful ears with the black diamond studs on them. He looked dangerous and evil.
“What did he say?”
“Young Master, don’t worry. Xia Wanyuan’s family is bankrupt and she doesn’t have any resources in the entertainment industry. The endorsement of Qian Xiu will be of great help to her. She will definitely agree.”
“Bring her to me in a few days.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
After watching the video that had been played countless times, the corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up. This was the first time he had been so concerned about her that he had even made a trip back to the country. ‘Don’t disappoint me, Xia Wanyuan.’ (italics)
“Xia Yu! Get up! We agreed to go to the library!”
Since they had accepted the gift Xia Wanyuan had prepared for their dormitory, they had to deliver their promise.
Under the stimulation of high-performance computers, not only did the blacklist level in the entire dormitory increase, but so did his studies.
After all, they had to bear the heavy responsibility of helping Xia Yu achieve an A grade. Hence, they controlled the gaming time and woke Xia Yu up in the morning to study and attend classes. At night, they supervised Xia Yu’s revision for the day before returning to the dormitory.
Even though it was the weekend, everyone only took a nap before deciding to wake Xia Yu up and go to the library.
“I’ll be up soon. Sigh, I should have sold my computer back then. I’m hurting myself.”
Xia Yu mumbled as he struggled to get out of bed.
After washing up, tidying up, and preparing to leave the dormitory, Xia Yu received a call from the manor.
“My sister wants me to go home for a while. You guys go on ahead, I’ll bring you something delicious when I get back.”
“Alright, remember to thank your sister for us.” Everyone expressed their understanding.
When Xia Yu arrived at the manor, Uncle Wang was waiting for him at the door.
“Young Master Xia, Young Master and Madam are waiting for you in the dining room.”
“Oh okay.”
Xia Yu was a little confused. The previous time I came back, the people in the manor didn’t even bother to mention Xia Wanyuan. Why is she now Madam? (italics)
When Xia Yu entered, he saw Jun Shiling carrying Xia Wanyuan into the house while Jun Yin skipped around the two of them.
?????
Xia Yu was confused. ‘Am I still asleep? That ruthless and unreasonable Young Master Jun is hugging Xia Wanyuan now. What a fantasy world.’ (italics)
When he entered the house, Xia Yu realized that Xia Wanyuan had no idea he was coming. She was surprised to see him at the door.
After all, she was only staying in the Jun family temporarily. Although she wanted Xia Yu to call him over alone at school, she didn’t say it out loud. She didn’t expect Jun Shiling to think of it for her.
“Uncle!”
Xiao Bao’s eyes lit up when he saw Xia Yu. He hadn’t seen Xia Yu in a long time and missed his uncle who always played with him.
“Sit down and eat.”
Jun Shiling glanced at him calmly and Xia Yu sat down obediently at the table.
After lunch, Xia Wanyuan asked Xia Yu about his situation in school and was about to take a nap. Then, Xia Yu watched as Jun Shiling carried her upstairs.
Xia Yu didn’t dare to talk to Jun Shiling, so he played Lego with Jun Yin for a while.
“Uncle, you’re amazing!” Jun Yin looked at Xia Yu with stars in his eyes as he completed the model that he hadn’t completed in a long time.
Xia Yu raised his head smugly. “Of course!”
Xia Yu had a friendly match with the other colleges in the afternoon and was in a hurry to go back.
“Bring all the food and drinks that I’ve prepared for you back to school.”
Jun Shiling picked up Xiao Bao, who was playing with toys outside of time, and forced him to take an afternoon nap.
Xia Yu looked at the clothes, shoes, and snacks in the nanny’s hands and felt bitter.
In all his years of school, no one had ever prepared things for him like his family.
“Thank you,”
said Xia Yu, as he looked at Jun Shiling.
“You should thank her the most.”
Jun Shiling stopped hugging Xiao Bao’s back for a while before he finally said those words.
Xia Yu seemed to be in deep thought. He stood rooted to the ground for a while before leaving the manor.
“Old Zhang, let me tell you. I got an especially good painting. I’ll go to your hospital tomorrow to show it to you.”

“H*ck, would I lie to you? Do you know the long-lost boneless method? Tsk, tsk, that painting is really good.”
“That won’t do. She gave it to me specially. Dream on.”
The moment Elder Zhong returned, he excitedly called his old friend from the liberal arts academy. When he heard that there was a lost artwork, Professor Zhang’s heart was itching.
Elder Zhong, who had flaunted his success, happily took the painting from Xia Wanyuan and admired it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xia Wanyuan was amazing.
After leaving Qian Xiu’s company, Chen Yun still felt that it was a little unreal. The sincerity the other party gave was completely beyond Xia Wanyuan’s current status. Furthermore, Qian Xiu Corporation itself had a considerable reputation in the women’s clothing market. Signing this endorsement was practically a windfall.
Chen Yun immediately called Xia Wanyuan and told her about the new endorsement.
“The other party said that they need to examine the image of the spokesperson and agreed to meet in a few days for a detailed discussion.”
“Okay, let me know when the time comes.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan was not very happy. She still had some understanding of the current Xia Wanyuan’s status in the entertainment industry. How could there be a free lunch falling from the sky? If this Qian Xiu came looking for me at this time, it was likely that they were up to no good. (italics)

Xia Wanyuan didn’t take a shower last night due to her foot injury. She had been sunbathing in the garden for a long time and was drenched in sweat, so she wanted to take a shower.
Xia Wanyuan felt really awkward. She did not want the nanny to watch her bathe, so she had the nanny place her feet on a stool to prevent herself from touching the water. She then dismissed the servants and slowly washed herself.
Due to the inconvenience of her actions, Xia Wanyuan took her time bathing in the bathroom for nearly two hours before putting her clothes on. She jumped out of the bathroom with one leg and held onto the wall with both hands.
Unexpectedly, the door of the bathroom was a little high, causing Xia Wanyuan to skip sideways. Jun Shiling, who was looking for the USB drive he had placed on the bedside table, heard movement behind him and turned to look.
He saw the wet-haired Xia Wanyuan standing on the ground with one foot, swinging back and forth to maintain her balance.
….
Jun Shiling stepped forward to hold Xia Wanyuan’s arm. Xia Wanyuan, who had just taken a shower, emitted a fragrant scent. Jun Shiling pursed his lips slightly and helped Xia Wanyuan onto the bed.
“Can you call the nanny for me? I want to blow my hair dry.”
Xia Wanyuan stroked her wet hair and looked up at Jun Shiling.
From Jun Shiling’s point of view, Xia Wanyuan’s beautiful face with red lips and white teeth formed a strong contrast with her ink-black long hair, making her face look like snow jade and her brows as slender as a piece of jade.
“Let me blow it for you.”
For some reason, Jun Shiling said this subconsciously. Both of them were stunned.
