Chapter 131 - The Vast Sea of Stars
Chapter 131: The Vast Sea of Stars
The few huge marble pillars that supported the hall were all wrapped in roses. From the door to the house, the ground, the table, and the flower pot, the entire place was filled with a sea of roses.
The huge chandelier illuminated the room with its gentle light. There was a layer of rose petals on the ground, and beside the French windows, a casual hanging chair was decorated with pink roses.
There was a lot of space in the semi-circular pink swing with soft cushions.
Xia Wanyuan sat on it like she was lying in a pink cotton candy. It was soft and sweet. Through the huge French windows, she could see the vast and magnificent sea of roses.
It was the first time she had seen pink roses in Dreams in the Clouds last night. She did not expect to see such a sea of roses when she returned home today. Xia Wanyuan was very happy, and her cool eyes were filled with brightness.
Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan’s happy expression with a smile in his eyes.
Xia Wanyuan sat on the chair for a while before suddenly turning around. “Jun Shiling, why are you so good to me?”
“Which part is good?” Jun Shiling sat on the chair beside Xia Wanyuan and asked.
“These must cost a lot, right?” Although Xia Wanyuan did not know how expensive these flowers were, such an overwhelming sea of roses should cost at least hundreds of thousands.
“The global billionaires list last year.” Jun Shiling’s eyes flashed.
“Huh?” Xia Wanyuan tilted her head, a little confused as to why Jun Shiling was saying this.
“I’m ranked tenth in the world and am an obvious asset.”
“…Oh.” Xia Wanyuan was speechless. So you have money. “But I only said it casually last night. I didn’t really want to plant so many roses in the manor.”
“It’s not troublesome or expensive. Just see it if you want to.” Jun Shiling looked extremely indifferent.
“Alright.” Seeing how calm Jun Shiling was, Xia Wanyuan felt that it might be because she had never seen the world and did not know how rich people in the modern world played.
What she did not know was that at this moment, the flower shops in Beijing, the flower shops, and the main flower base in the south were all cheering for themselves for completing the quarterly performance in advance.
Because this mysterious big boss had ordered two million roses in one go, and because it required a lot and time was tight, he had bought them at double the wholesale price.
Xia Wanyuan was playing games in the hanging chair while Jun Shiling was having a video conference with Lin Jing on the sofa in the living room. He had returned too early today, and there were still many things to settle in the company.
Lin Jing pressed the call button and was dazzled by the pink roses on the screen behind Jun Shiling.
Assistant Lin, who had always been calm and composed, even dropped the pen in his hand.
However, half a second later, Lin Jing reacted and immediately regained his composure. He reported the work to Jun Shiling in an orderly manner.
An hour later, Jun Shiling finally settled the matter that Lin Jing had reported from afar. The sky outside had darkened. Jun Shiling turned to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting on a hanging chair and swaying leisurely.
“Let’s go and eat. I’ll show you something after dinner.”
“Okay.” After passing through the sea of roses, Xia Wanyuan knew that the item must be unusual for Jun Shiling to say that he wanted to see it. She was very expectant.
After the meal, Uncle Wang brought the servants away with great tact. Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan out of the main building. It was dark outside.
There was a faint fragrance of roses in the air, but all she could see was darkness.
“Look at the sky,” Jun Shiling reminded Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan looked up. It was still pitch-black.
Just as she was about to ask Jun Shiling, she realized that there seemed to be stars shining in the sky. Xia Wanyuan’s eyes widened slightly.
Gradually, the specks of light appeared more and more. Soon, they covered the top of the manor like a vast starry sky.
Xia Wanyuan had seen the cosmic star chart with Xiao Bao before. The vast galaxy above them was the reappearance of the Leo Star System.
And her horoscope was exactly Leo.
It was unknown what they had used to form this vast and magnificent galaxy above their heads. These galaxies emitted light that illuminated the manor.
Above her head was the sea of stars, while she was in the sea of roses. Xia Wanyuan felt that in her two lifetimes, her youthful heart had never been so adorable, nor had she ever seen such a beautiful scene.
“What star is the brightest?” Xia Wanyuan pointed at an extremely bright blue and white star above her head.
“Xuanyuan Fourteen…”
After Jun Shiling finished talking about the star, he turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan looking at him with great admiration.
“How do you know everything?” Xia Wanyuan sighed once again.
“I saw it once.” Jun Shiling suppressed his smile.
Xia Wanyuan was about to ask more when she heard movement at the door. A black car drove into the manor.
The car door opened and a small figure rushed out. “Mommy!!!”
Xiao Bao ran towards Xia Wanyuan with his short legs. Xia Wanyuan caught him and hugged him.
“Mommy, I missed you so much.” Xiao Bao wrapped his arms around Xia Wanyuan’s neck and kissed her on the cheek.
There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “Mommy missed you too.”
“Daddy, I also…” Xiao Bao turned around and was about to speak to Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao’s chubby little face unhappily. “Jun Yin, do you know how heavy you are? You’re already so big, yet you’re still being carried.”
“Hmph! Daddy, I don’t miss you at all!” Xiao Bao pouted and frowned, but his hands struggled to get off Xia Wanyuan.
However, he did not expect that before his feet touched the ground, a pair of large hands would wrap around his waist and pull him back. Xiao Bao looked up and saw Jun Shiling’s cold eyes.
Unlike the gentleness on Xia Wanyuan, although Jun Shiling was cold, he had the dignity and stability of a father.
Xiao Bao hugged Jun Shiling’s neck with both hands and whined softly, “Daddy, I missed you too.”
“Hmph.” Jun Shiling snorted coldly, but his eyes were warm.
Having interacted with Jun Shiling for so long, Xiao Bao knew that Jun Shiling was just a little serious and not really scolding him. He immediately hugged Jun Shiling tighter and leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder, smiling foolishly at Xia Wanyuan.
“Young Master.” Uncle Liu watched Xiao Bao run into Xia Wanyuan’s arms and saw the happy atmosphere between the three of them. His eyes were filled with relief.
“Thank you for sending him back so late, Uncle Liu.” Jun Shiling nodded slightly at Uncle Liu.
“Little Master missed Young Master and Madam. Old Master was afraid that he would cry, so he asked me to send Little Master back. Since he was safely delivered, I’ll go back first.”
“Uncle Liu, take care.”
Uncle Liu bade farewell to Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, got into the car, and walked back. Before he left, he glanced at the three people in the sea of roses, his eyes filled with relief. He could not wait to go back and tell the Old Master, which would definitely make him happy.
The news of Xia Wanyuan visiting Xia Yu at school had been posted online ever since Xia Wanyuan left school.
