Chapter 1020: I’m Cold Without You
A long journey was the easiest to tire one out. After running around for the entire day, Xia Wanyuan was tired and sleepy. Lying on the bed with Jun Shiling’s aura beside her, she fell asleep easily.
Jun Shiling walked forward and covered her with the blanket. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s forehead before walking out again.
Lin Wei and two other subordinates stood outside the door, holding documents in their hands as they waited for Jun Shiling to sign.
“Let’s go.” Jun Shiling gently closed the door and led his men to the command room.
The missions had been assigned, and Jun Shiling had to check the situation of the people in charge of the various districts every day.
Jun Shiling seemed to be in a much better mood than usual today. The coldness on his body seemed to have melted a little. Sitting on the high platform, one’s heart could not help but stir.
Zhou Hui secretly glanced at Lin Wei and saw that she was focused on Jun Shiling on the stage. He sighed in his heart. “Little Wei.”
Zhou Hui was Lin Wei’s elder. He usually followed the rules and called Lin Wei Leader in front of others. He only called her Little Wei in private.
“Uncle Zhou, please speak.” Lin Wei retracted her gaze and looked at Zhou Hui.
“I know that you’ve always been a proud girl. Your father introduced you to so many outstanding youths, but you didn’t take a fancy to them. To be honest, I’ve never seen such an outstanding person like this officer in all my years.” Zhou Hui slowly reasoned with Lin Wei. “But he already has a family.”
When he said the last sentence, Lin Wei’s eyes wavered. She looked up. “Uncle Zhou, I understand what you mean. You don’t have to say anymore.”
With that, Lin Wei looked at Jun Shiling, who was not far away, with admiration and sadness in her eyes.
She had always grown up in the camp and rarely interacted with the outside world. When Jun Shiling first arrived, she really thought that this was fate bestowed on her by the heavens. However, she did not expect Jun Shiling to already have a wife.
Zhou Hui noticed Lin Wei’s gaze and shook his head. He knew very well that love was the most roundabout thing. Even the usually decisive Lin Wei could not be refined.
Young people had to hit the south wall to know how painful it was.
When Xia Wanyuan woke up, the sky was still dark. She took her phone and saw that it was already past four in the morning.
The blanket beside her was still as flat as before, which meant that Jun Shiling had not rested until now.
Xia Wanyuan lifted the blanket, took Jun Shiling’s coat, and draped it over herself before walking out of the room.
It was late at night and everyone was resting. The corridor was very quiet, and only Xia Wanyuan’s gentle footsteps could be heard.
“Miss, are you looking for the officer?” A young man’s voice suddenly came from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. Not far away was a thin and tall man in a uniform and hat, looking at Xia Wanyuan curiously.
“Yes, where is he?” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
Xia Wanyuan turned around. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her eyes were clear. She was even more beautiful than the fairy in the sketchbook. The young man was stunned and subconsciously pointed at the command room. “The commander is over there.”
“Okay, thank you.” Xia Wanyuan thanked him and walked towards the command room.
In the huge command room, the crowd had already dispersed, leaving only Jun Shiling sitting on the high platform and constantly analyzing the data on the screen. His hand kept typing on the computer.
Lin Wei was also sitting not far away, quietly looking at the documents in her hand. She was a little tired from reading. She looked up and happened to see Xia Wanyuan walking towards the command room. Lin Wei frowned and stood up.
“Officer, let me pour you some tea.” Lin Wei walked to Jun Shiling with the kettle and bent down to pour water for him. Jun Shiling was focused on the map on the screen and did not notice the situation beside him.
Xia Wanyuan stood at the door and saw that there were only Jun Shiling and Lin Wei in the huge command room. From her angle, Lin Wei and Jun Shiling were extremely close, as if they were whispering.
Xia Wanyuan frowned and adjusted her coat before walking over.
Jun Shiling heard footsteps, but he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to wake up now. Hence, he remained focused on his world until a familiar fragrance came from the tip of his nose.
“You’re awake?” When Jun Shiling saw Xia Wanyuan, his eyes were filled with warmth. He reached out to her, and Xia Wanyuan placed her hand on it. Lin Wei, who was originally standing beside Jun Shiling, could only retreat.
The night was cold, and there was no floor heater here. Xia Wanyuan’s hands were cold. Jun Shiling placed her hands in his arms. Xia Wanyuan leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder and looked at the map on the big screen. “What are you looking at?”
Jun Shiling took the remote control and changed the map on the big screen to the one in the southwest. He explained it to Xia Wanyuan from the beginning as if he was Wikipedia.
Lin Wei glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who was leaning on Jun Shiling’s shoulder. The dissatisfaction in her eyes was about to materialize. However, looking at Jun Shiling again, he looked like he was letting her do whatever she wanted. He even told Xia Wanyuan so many secrets.
Unable to stand it anymore, Lin Wei walked out of the command room.
“Hey, Leader, why are you out?” The subordinate on duty saw Lin Wei’s unhappy expression and his heart skipped a beat, afraid that he had provoked her again.
]However, Lin Wei did not say a word and walked out of the command center with a cold expression. The subordinate glanced into the command room from afar and understood.
The jealous lover had flipped over.
Xia Wanyuan learned quickly, and Jun Shiling’s explanation all captured main point. About an hour later, Xia Wanyuan roughly understood the situation here.
Xia Wanyuan knew what was going on. She glanced at Jun Shiling’s bloodshot eyes. “CEO Jun, how long have you not slept?”
Jun Shiling’s hand paused for a moment. He could not remember it himself. “Go and sleep for a while more. I’ll finish sorting these things.”
Xia Wanyuan reached out and tugged at Jun Shiling’s collar, her dimples appearing. “Without you, I’m cold.”
“…” Jun Shiling was speechless. No matter what other tone Xia Wanyuan used on him, he would not surrender so quickly. “Okay, I’ll lie down with you for a while.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and allowed Jun Shiling to hug her back to the lounge.
The lounge was cold. There was no heater here, and the conditions were worlds apart from the manor.
Xia Wanyuan crawled under the blanket. The cold bedsheets looked like they had just been picked up from the snow. The moment she touched the blanket, she shivered from the cold. “CEO Jun, come quickly. It’s so cold.”
Jun Shiling lifted the blanket and pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms. Xia Wanyuan felt that Jun Shiling was a warm furnace and immediately wrapped her hands and feet around him.
Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair with heartache. “Can I send you back tomorrow? It’s cold here.”
