“No need, I can finish it myself.”

Even though they lived under the same roof and shared a bed every night, it was still a paper agreement.

Although Xia Wanyuan was an ancient person, she did not bother with trifles. She knew where the boundary between her and Jun s.h.i.+ling was, so she did not find it strange.

However, she felt that eating leftovers seemed to have crossed the line.

A strange thought crept into her mind, but seeing Jun s.h.i.+ling’s cold and indifferent expression, Xia Wanyuan felt that she was overthinking.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t eat. You look like I mistreated you when I asked you to stay for lunch.”

Jun s.h.i.+ling’s tone was somewhat cold. Xia Wanyuan felt that the idea that had just appeared in her mind was simply a fantasy.

However, her opinion of Jun s.h.i.+ling increased.

She didn’t expect that the n.o.ble son of such a large family and the head of the Jun family, who was above everyone else, would do things so openly. No wonder the Jun family could reach such a high level in his hands.

Jun s.h.i.+ling finished scooping the green beans and handed the bowl back to Xia Wanyuan.

“Thank you,”

Xia Wanyuan whispered.

“Jun Yin must have inherited your pickiness.”

Xia Wanyuan was about to feed herself when Jun s.h.i.+ling suddenly spoke.

Xia Wanyuan recalled how the little dumpling did not eat ginger, garlic, onions, or coriander. For some reason, she felt a little guilty, and her face flushed red.

Jun s.h.i.+ling saw Xia Wanyuan’s unnatural expression and a smile flashed across his eyes. He did not say anything else.

Xia Wanyuan did not want to repeat her awkward situation, so she did not eat the dish of green beans with pork anymore.

However, he did not expect that not long after, Xia Wanyuan, who had been engrossed in eating, would be served a spoonful of green beans stir-fried pork without the green beans.

Xia Wanyuan looked up. In Jun s.h.i.+ling’s bowl next door, there was a large pile of green beans.

……..

“Thank you,”

Feeling a little embarra.s.sed, Xia Wanyuan could only thank him.

Jun s.h.i.+ling replied calmly, and the two of them fell silent.

After the meal, Lin Jing arrived at the office on time and took away the lunch box.

“Are you going back in the afternoon?”

Jun s.h.i.+ling looked at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting on the sofa.

“Elder Zhong invited me to his lecture in the afternoon.”

Elder Zhong was a heavyweight in the country’s financial industry. His lectures were hard to come by, and being personally invited by Elder Zhong meant that he valued Xia Wanyuan very much.

“What time?”

“At three.”

Jun s.h.i.+ling looked at the time. It was still early. “Rest here for a while. I’ll get the chauffeur to take you there later.”

“Will it affect your work?”

Xia Wanyuan didn’t mind. She was just a little afraid of affecting Jun s.h.i.+ling’s work.

“You won’t.”

With Jun s.h.i.+ling’s permission, Xia Wanyuan sat at the side in peace, reading the book that Jun s.h.i.+ling had left behind.

Time pa.s.sed slowly. Xia Wanyuan read for a while and saw the tea table by the window.

She put down her book and walked over.

On the tea table, there was a set of teaspoons made of purple sand, a teaspoon, a teaspoon, a teaspoon, and a tray that was known as the “Four Treasures of the Tea Room”.

If it was anyone else, they might not even be able to distinguish these tea sets, but Xia Wanyuan was different.

In her previous life, there was a reclusive expert living on Zhongli Mountain. The expert was not greedy or materialistic. No matter how many officials and n.o.bles tried to invite him, they could not.

Xia Wanyuan had the intention of asking him to teach the Yuan Emperor his studies, so she had painstakingly studied the art of tea. In the end, she had taken the first spring water on Zhongli Mountain and brewed a pot of tea for the old gentleman. The gentleman praised her for having a spirit in the tea and agreed readily to accompany her.

Later on, this man became the imperial teacher of the Xia Dynasty and contributed greatly to its prosperity.

The table was well-prepared, and the porcelain jar beside it contained a pure mountain spring.

Xia Wanyuan placed the spring water in a pot on the stove and adjusted the temperature of the water. When the water was boiled to a certain extent, she took out a portion of the Lin Ou cup. The purple sand teacup turned extremely dark when it came into contact with the hot water.

She gently swept the tea leaves on the side into the cup with a teaspoon. Xia Wanyuan could not tell what tea it was, but from the quality and fragrance of the tea leaves, it was definitely top-notch green tea.

Next, Xia Wanyuan lifted the kettle and aimed it at the cup of Ou. She poured the boiling water into it in a low and high manner, allowing the tea leaves to fully stretch as the water swirled.

The originally dark-colored tea leaves were swirling in the water, gradually releasing a bright green color. The shocking fragrance of the tea slowly filled the entire office as the water entered the teacup.

Jun s.h.i.+ling, who was busy with work, was attracted by the fragrance of the tea and looked up.

Under the cover of the huge green plants, sunlight shone through the window. The woman by the tea table held a kettle. The hot water was like a silver dragon, roaring as it rushed out of Xia Wanyuan’s hand, stirring up a fragrant room.

Xia Wanyuan was wearing a short chiffon dress that revealed her shoulders. The silver earrings on her ears added a hint of firmness to the gentleness.

Although she was dressed in an extremely simple modern outfit, Jun s.h.i.+ling seemed to see a cla.s.sic beauty who had settled down for a thousand years riding on the waves of steam that filled the room. She was elegant, drop dead gorgeous, and her every move was filled with a elegance that seeped into his bones.

“Try it.”

In a daze, Xia Wanyuan had already brewed the tea. She stood by the window and waved at Jun s.h.i.+ling.

Jun s.h.i.+ling stood up and walked to Xia Wanyuan. Picking up the teacup on the table, he took a sip. From the clear tea, one could tell that the tea was brewed extremely well.

The water tasted a little bitter at first, but after the bitterness subsided, the sweetness returned. The clear spring water retained the most authentic taste of the tea leaves, but it also added a hint of sweetness.

As the saying goes, ‘one’s temperament is tempered by tea’. Jun s.h.i.+ling gave Xia Wanyuan a dark look.

The two of them drank tea quietly. It was about time for Xia Wanyuan to leave.

“I’m going to the first floor for a meeting. Let’s go together.”

After packing her things, Xia Wanyuan put on her sungla.s.ses and mask. After confirming that no one could recognize her, Jun s.h.i.+ling put down his teacup and stood up to follow Xia Wanyuan.

“The CEO’s private elevator is here. Quick, quick, put it away. a.s.sistant Lin is here.”

In the pantry by the front desk, everyone was taking the opportunity to take a breather. Although they did not do anything out of line, they were afraid that the leader would think that they had nothing to do.

Everyone was holding their gla.s.ses and queuing up to receive the water. Someone whispered, “F*ck, look at the elevator door.”

Everyone secretly glanced at the elevator door from the corner of their eyes and stood in unison like statues.

The big boss, who was usually rarely seen, had actually come to the first floor. Moreover, that was no longer the main point. The main point was that there was actually a slim and graceful woman walking beside him!! And it was the one a.s.sistant Lin had personally accompanied upstairs!!

Curiosity towards the shocking gossip overcame the fear that they might be punished. Everyone secretly watched Jun s.h.i.+ling send the woman beside him out of the corner of their eyes.

In the middle of the crowd, the mysterious woman was almost knocked down. Jun s.h.i.+ling pulled the woman to his side and walked on the side with the large crowd!!

“I take back what I said about not being able to imagine how gentle the Big Boss is. What did I say before? ‘Tempered steel becomes soft around the fingers’. AHHHHHH! The Big Boss just now felt so safe and handsome! ‘” The employee was halfway through her speech when she suddenly felt that her eyes hurt. “Hey, my eyes seem to be a little uncomfortable.”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“How can it not hurt after you guys secretly looked at it with slanted eyes for so long?”

The new little intern mercilessly exposed the truth once again.
