Chapter 1024: Princess’s Love Rival

“Sister, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Seeing no response from Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu asked curiously.

“It’s nothing.” Xia Wanyuan hid her emotions.

“Oh, then go and do your things. I’ll pick Xiao Bao up now.”

“Mm.”

After hanging up, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Jiang Yun’s appearance appeared in her mind.

Beautiful, capable, and sharp.

She did not care what kind of person Xia Yu liked. What she cared about was whether Jiang Yun had other motives. Could she have deliberately approached Xia Yu?

Thinking of this, Xia Wanyuan turned on her phone and sent Shen Qian a few more messages.

She did not interfere with Xia Yu’s feelings, but she could not let someone with ulterior motives hurt him.

“Miss Xia?” Xia Wanyuan had just sent the message when a female voice came from behind.

…

Xia Wanyuan turned around. Behind her was the adjutant of the command center, Lin Wei. Lin Wei was dressed in a dark green uniform and stood there.

Xia Wanyuan put away her phone and nodded at Lin Wei. “What’s the matter?”

“From the looks of Miss Xia, you shouldn’t be from the camp, right?” Lin Wei glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s smooth skin. It was obvious that she had lived like a princess all year round.

“No.”

“Ever since Officer arrived, he’s been busy day and night.” Lin Wei stared at Xia Wanyuan as if she was lecturing a subordinate. “Miss Xia, since you’re not an insider, isn’t it inappropriate to delay his time like this? This isn’t a child’s play.”

Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow. “So?”

“If you really understand Officer, you should go back early. Don’t waste Officer’s time here. As his wife, you should know how to prioritize the big picture.” Lin Wei really could not stand Xia Wanyuan’s delicate appearance. She was beautiful, but the base was not a place where beauty was important.

“Oh,” Xia Wanyuan replied casually. Her gaze landed on Lin Wei with a deep insight. “But you might have missed something.”

“What?”

Xia Wanyuan said slowly, “Have you ever thought that your commander likes me too much and can’t bear to let me leave him?”

Xia Wanyuan was best at stabbing people in the places they cared about the most.

“…” Lin Wei frowned. “How is that possible? You can tell that Officer’s someone who values the big picture.”

Before Lin Wei could finish speaking, the door of the meeting room behind her suddenly opened and Jun Shiling walked out. Lin Wei stopped talking.

Xia Wanyuan waved at Jun Shiling with her cold, red hands. “It’s cold.”

Jun Shiling strode over and held Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Why aren’t you going in?”

Xia Wanyuan hooked Jun Shiling’s palm. “CEO Jun, I’m hungry.”

“I’ll accompany you to eat.” Jun Shiling reached out to tidy the scarf in front of Xia Wanyuan and put on her hat, his eyes filled with gentleness.

“The meat in the afternoon is a little fat.”

“You eat the thin part and give me the fat part.”

“I want to eat sweet potatoes. Roast them for me.”

“Okay.”

…..

The two of them chatted and laughed as they passed by Lin Wei, making her furious.

Back in the lounge, Jun Shiling smiled and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face. “You did it on purpose just now, right? Did Lin Wei provoke you?”

Xia Wanyuan was not so pretentious. From her tone just now, one could tell that she was angering someone again.

“Who asked you to attract rotten peach blossoms every day?” Xia Wanyuan snorted softly.

Lin Wei had deliberately poured water for Jun Shiling to mock her. She had angered Lin Wei once and returned the favor.

“Mm, it’s my fault,” Jun Shiling said as he helped Xia Wanyuan take off her shoes.

The base was cold. Every time the meeting ended after a few hours, Xia Wanyuan’s limbs would be cold. Jun Shiling specially got someone to get an electric grill. Every time they rested, he would bring Xia Wanyuan to the lounge to warm up.

Xia Wanyuan only said that to anger Lin Wei. In fact, she ate whatever lunch box the base gave her. After dinner, Jun Shiling wanted to work, but he was stopped by Xia Wanyuan.

“Go and rest for a while. You’re not allowed to get up without three hours.”

“Baby.” Jun Shiling smiled helplessly.

Xia Wanyuan did not care so much. She pushed Jun Shiling into the blanket. “Your brain has been working all day. You should rest for a while.”

After Jun Shiling lay down, Xia Wanyuan sat by the bed and reached her feet under the blanket. Then, she took Jun Shiling’s computer and placed it on her lap. “I’ll help you do things. When you wake up, see if there’s anything you need to change and add. Go to sleep.”

Xia Wanyuan listened in the meeting room for the entire day and also received all sorts of information at a high intensity. She observed the situation of the people in charge of the various regions and had a basic understanding of what Jun Shiling wanted to do.

How could Jun Shiling watch Xia Wanyuan work hard at the side? He wanted to get up, but Xia Wanyuan glared at him.

“If you get up today, I won’t let you touch me for the next three months. I won’t talk to you.”

“…” Jun Shiling was both amused and touched. Who would threaten him with this? However, he had to admit that Xia Wanyuan’s threat was very effective. “Okay, I’ll sleep. Wake me up in three hours.”

He slept for exactly three hours. Before Xia Wanyuan could wake him up, an alarm suddenly sounded outside.

A subordinate rushed over. Jun Shiling put on his coat and opened the door.

“Oh no, a plane fell in the South China Mountains. Someone escaped, but the mountains are steep and we can’t enter.”

Jun Shiling thought for a moment and turned to look at Xia Wanyuan. She nodded at him.

Jun Shiling said, “Wait for me,” and followed his subordinate out of the base.
