“You…” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan really did not seem to know him, Jun Shiling frowned slightly. He glanced at the package in Xia Wanyuan’s hand. “Are you going out?”
Jun Shiling’s tone was too familiar. Even Xia Wei could tell that something was wrong. He looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister, do you know him??”
Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling again, then shook her head. “No.”
Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling warily. He sized Jun Shiling up. He had seen so many royal nobles, but he had never seen anyone with Jun Shiling’s aura.
Dressed like this in the middle of the night to get close to my royal sister, he must have ill intentions.
Thinking of this, the way Xia Wei looked at Jun Shiling changed. He walked up to Xia Wanyuan, wanting to block Jun Shiling’s gaze. However, he was not as tall as Jun Shiling now, so he could only glare angrily.
Xia Wanyuan pushed Xia Wei to the side, her eyes filled with helplessness. “Alright, stop fooling around. Go in and rest first.”
Xia Wei reluctantly brought his younger siblings into the courtyard. Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Jun Shiling. “Young Master, where’s your house? Let me give you a ride.”
Jun Shiling looked deeply at Xia Wanyuan, then shook his head. “It’s nothing. Go and do your work first. I’ll go back myself.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan did not force him. She nodded slightly at Jun Shiling and disappeared into the rain.
Jun Shiling stood on the steps and watched from afar. Only when Xia Wanyuan’s figure completely disappeared into the rain did he look down at the wound on his leg and sit under the roof to rest.
It was late at night. When the old man on night watch knocked three times, Xia Wanyuan stepped on the water and hurriedly returned to the small courtyard.
Seeing Jun Shiling sitting at the door, confusion flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.
She could feel that Jun Shiling was not hostile. Even though he was already trying his best to suppress it, the joy and concern after seeing her was obvious.
Ever since she escaped from the palace with her younger siblings, she had been much more vigilant than before. She no longer trusted anyone.
However, for some reason, facing this stranger who had suddenly appeared, Xia Wanyuan had never suspected him at all. On the contrary, it was as if a voice in her heart was telling her that this man could be trusted.
Jun Shiling was too tired, so he only opened his eyes when Xia Wanyuan walked to his side.
“I’m sorry.” Jun Shiling slowly stood up. “My house is very far from here. I can’t go back.”
From any angle, it was clearly impossible for Xia Wanyuan to keep Jun Shiling. However, at this moment, looking at Jun Shiling’s bloodshot eyes, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously said, “Why don’t you stay? We still have a guest room. It’s not too late to leave tomorrow.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan realized that something was wrong. What am I saying??
Jun Shiling seemed a little surprised by Xia Wanyuan’s words, but he quickly reacted. “Then sorry to disturb you.”
“…” Xia Wanyuan did not expect Jun Shiling to agree so directly. Before she could go back on her word, Jun Shiling had already limped into the courtyard.
Looking at Jun Shiling walking with difficulty, Xia Wanyuan finally retracted her rejection.
Xia Wei and Xiao Yu had been trained in martial arts since they were young. Even if this man wanted to do something, he would not succeed. Furthermore, she subconsciously thought that the man in front of her would not do anything to hurt her.
She did not know where this intuition came from, but she had such a firm feeling.
She watched as Jun Shiling limped towards the woodshed. Just as the door was about to open, Xia Wanyuan finally chased after him. “You’re in the wrong place. Come with me.”
The courtyard was dim, so Xia Wanyuan did not see it. Jun Shiling lowered his head and covered the slight smile on his lips.
The courtyard where Old Master lived was personally designed by Jun Shiling. How could he, who knew a lot about Chinese culture, not know the basic layout of the ancient courtyard?
