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 message 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 home accidentally and my children are not by his side. He called me and asked me 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 apartment.

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 meat noodles that Xia Wanyuan had made last time 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 me?”

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 me 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 hummed 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 moments 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 times, you’re still very amazing this time,” 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 movement 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 met Xia Wanyuan’s teary eyes. Under the light, they were mesmerizing.

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 me 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 me too much?” Jun Shiling stared intently into Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. Only then did Xia Wanyuan notice the flames that were about to burn in his eyes and the warmth that was about to burn her ankle by his touch.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
