Chapter 1019: Late Night Surprise
Ever since he arrived, Jun Shiling’s schedule had basically been reversed. Finally, he ended a five-hour meeting.
“Officer, go and rest.” Lin Wei’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. No matter how strong Jun Shiling’s body was, he could not withstand such high-intensity consumption.
And all of this was because of that little woman. She really could not understand why Jun Shiling, who was so capable, would delay the important matters because of love.
“No need. Go and rest. I’ll watch for a while more,” Jun Shiling said as he walked into the command room.
“Then I’ll accompany you.” Lin Wei followed Jun Shiling.
However, Jun Shiling had only taken a few steps when his phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had shared a real-time location with him.
This real-time location was two kilometers away from him.
Jun Shiling instantly stopped in his tracks and strode out the door.
Lin Wei did not know what had happened and hurriedly followed him out. However, Jun Shiling walked extremely quickly and got into the car in the blink of an eye. A stream of exhaust smoke floated past and the SUV had already driven far away.
“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Lin Wei murmured and turned to return to the command center.
At the airport, Xia Wanyuan was surrounded by a group of people.
“Miss, please show your identification. Otherwise, we will transfer you to the relevant institution.” This place had always been closed to civilian planes, but tonight, this plane landed.
“This is my pass. The person who is coming to pick me up will be here soon,” Xia Wanyuan said as she took out the pass Xia Yu had given her.
“This pass belongs to the cheetah team. What’s your code name in the cheetah team?”
Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, a light suddenly came from the night sky. An off-road vehicle was driving towards them through the darkness.
When the people around saw the SUV’s license plate, they could not help but make way for it.
The SUV roared over and finally stopped in front of Xia Wanyuan.
Jun Shiling walked out of the car in a black coat with a cold aura.
Seeing Jun Shiling, everyone hurriedly put away their weapons and said respectfully, “Officer.”
Jun Shiling waved his hand behind him and stared straight at Xia Wanyuan. He strode forward and grabbed her hand. “Follow me.”
Xia Wanyuan pulled the luggage beside her over. Jun Shiling glanced at her. In the end, he carried the luggage with one hand and pulled Xia Wanyuan with the other as they left the airport.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling’s cold expression.
He was angry.
About ten minutes later, the SUV entered a building hidden in the forest. Jun Shiling got out of the car and took out the box. He silently held Xia Wanyuan’s hand and walked into the house.
Hearing footsteps, Lin Wei came out to welcome him “You’re back?”
Then, she saw Jun Shiling walk in with a cold expression. Behind him was an extremely beautiful woman.
That woman was so beautiful that in the dark night, the entire room seemed to be illuminated by her beauty. Lin Wei stopped in her tracks. “Officer, who is this?”
However, Jun Shiling had no intention of stopping. He pulled Xia Wanyuan back to the lounge.
After entering the house, Xia Wanyuan said, “CEO Jun, you’re hurting me.”
Only then did Jun Shiling let go. He looked down and saw that there was no red mark on Xia Wanyuan’s wrist at all. Jun Shiling glanced at her and turned to put the box away.
Xia Wanyuan smiled and went forward to hug Jun Shiling’s waist. “Why? Are you so unhappy to see me?”
Jun Shiling seemed to be unable to hold it in anymore. He pried Xia Wanyuan’s hand away and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with anger. “Nonsense. Do you know how dangerous it is for ordinary people to barge in here? If I’m not here, what if something happens to you?”
This was the core of the entire southwest region. The protective measures were extremely good. Fortunately, he was here today. If not, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I’m not stupid. I asked Xia Yu for your location before coming over. I have the pass Xia Yu gave me.” Xia Wanyuan blinked at Jun Shiling. “I don’t want to see you work so hard. I want to come and help you.”
Jun Shiling was still angry. The scene of Xia Wanyuan being aimed at by so many people at the airport was still in his mind.
He knew that Xia Wanyuan had come because she was worried about him. If it had been Xia Wanyuan fighting alone at the base today, he would have come to find her regardless of everything. However, he was still afraid because of what had just happened.
“Why didn’t you tell me before? I could have arranged it for you.”
“You won’t agree.” Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling well. If she told him in advance, Jun Shiling would not agree no matter what.
Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. Xia Wanyuan was right. It was too tiring here. If he had known in advance, he would not have agreed to Xia Wanyuan coming here.
“Alright, if you don’t want to see me so much, I’ll leave.” Xia Wanyuan pretended to leave, but Jun Shiling pulled her back.
The scorching aura pressed down with many days of intense longing. Xia Wanyuan almost could not take it. Only when she could not breathe did Jun Shiling retreat a little. “Now, you’re still saying that I don’t want to see you?”
Xia Wanyuan leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms and secretly smiled. “CEO Jun, you might miss me a lot.”
“Might?” Jun Shiling laughed in anger.
Xia Wanyuan smiled with two dimples, her eyes shining. “I’m hungry.”
“Hmph.” Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face. “I’ll get you something to eat.”
Jun Shiling pushed open the door. Lin Wei was standing outside. Seeing him come out, Lin Wei wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Is something wrong?”
Lin Wei made up her mind. “Officer, isn’t it inappropriate for an unrelated woman to appear here?”
“What did I fail to do?”
“No, you did very well.” Lin Wei lowered her head.
It was not even an exaggeration to say that Jun Shiling was the most courageous and capable leader she had ever seen.
“Tell me this when I’m not doing my duties properly,” Jun Shiling said and walked straight to the canteen.
Behind him, Lin Wei had nothing to say, but she still felt that it was not appropriate for Jun Shiling to bring the woman here. She looked at the lounge and frowned.
Not long after, Jun Shiling returned with a set of food.
Pushing open the door, Xia Wanyuan was packing the clothes in the luggage. Seeing Xia Wanyuan put the clothes into his cabinet one by one, Jun Shiling’s gaze darkened.
“Come and eat.”
Oh, okay.” Xia Wanyuan put down her work and sat beside Jun Shiling, letting him feed her spoonful by spoonful.
In all fairness, the quality of the food here was very average. At most, it was filling. However, Xia Wanyuan had already finished eating.
“I’m so tired.” Xia Wanyuan yawned. “I’ll sleep for a while.”
“Don’t sleep here. Go to the back of the base. There’s a reception room there.” Jun Shiling reached out to stop Xia Wanyuan.
There was no bed in the lounge originally. It was only used for a short rest. However, this place was close to the command room, so Jun Shiling rested here day and night.
Other than a relatively hard bed, there was nothing else in the lounge. The conditions were too harsh. Jun Shiling could live here himself, but he did not want Xia Wanyuan to live here.
Xia Wanyuan tilted her head. “What about you? Where are you?”
“I’m here. It’s close here. The sooner I’m done, the sooner I can accompany you back.”
“Then I’ll be here too. Do your work. I want to sleep.” Although her life had become more pampered after coming to the modern world, it was not as if Xia Wanyuan had never lived in a more difficult place. As she spoke, she took off her shoes and lay under the blanket.
Although the bed was very hard and the blanket was not soft, the pine fragrance around Jun Shiling made Xia Wanyuan feel very at ease. This was much more important than a comfortable living environment.
