Chapter 155 - Daddy, Do You Love Mommy?

"Wanyuan? Are you listening?" Qin Wu asked curiously.

He took the phone and glanced at it to confirm that the signal was still connected. He could not help but wonder why no one spoke when the call connected.

"She's in the shower. What's the matter?"

A low and magnetic male voice sounded from the phone. Qin Wu was stunned.

"Is this Xia Wanyuan's phone?" Qin Wu asked with the last bit of hope.

"Mm."

A deep voice sounded from the other end. Just one word destroyed Qin Wu's mental defenses. "I'm sorry, I'm her colleague. I didn't know… I just wanted to remind her not to be late for the variety show recording tomorrow. I didn't mean to disturb you. Goodbye."

After speaking, Qin Wu hung up the phone.

It was late at night and Xia Wanyuan was taking a shower when a man picked up the phone. It was obvious what their relationship was.

Qin Wu had a look of disappointment and frustration. It was unknown who had obtained Xia Wanyuan's beautiful heart.

Hearing the disconnected sound on the phone, Jun Shiling raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up her phone, and went upstairs.

The moment he opened the bedroom door, he saw Xia Wanyuan massaging Xiao Bao's legs with her hair half wet.

Xia Wanyuan had just taken a shower inside and was about to blow dry her hair when she heard a thud from outside.

When she pushed open the door, Xiao Bao fell onto the carpet with his legs crossed. His big eyes were filled with tears. "Boohoo, Mommy, I fell."

Xiao Bao played Ultraman and the big monster on the bed, each playing two roles. One moment, he would run to the bed to play Ultraman, the other moment, he would run to the end of the bed to play the monster, and he would even fight with himself.

While he was having fun, he accidentally tripped on the blanket and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the wool blanket on the ground was thick enough. It was just a little red from the fall and he did not bleed.

Amused, Xia Wanyuan picked Xiao Bao up and examined him. There was nothing wrong with him, so she gently massaged him.

"Mommy, treat me well. Mommy, I love you. Do you love me too?" Xiao Bao nestled in Xia Wanyuan's arms, feeling the warmth and care that came from her.

"Mm, I love you." Xia Wanyuan kissed Xiao Bao's forehead. Xiao Bao jumped up happily and looked up to see Jun Shiling walking into the house.

"How can you fall down from the bed at such an old age?" Jun Shiling glanced at Xiao Bao coldly.

"Daddy, you said yesterday that I was too young and had no self-control. You didn't let me keep the milk candy can myself!"

"...….."

Jun Shiling, who had always been successful in the business world, choked for once.

After comforting Xiao Bao, he went to read the comic book happily. Xia Wanyuan touched her hair. It was still wet.

Just as she was about to get the hairdryer, she saw Jun Shiling coming over with it.

"Sit tight."

Seeing that Jun Shiling was about to blow dry her hair, Xia Wanyuan did not decline. Since it was not the first time, she sat on the sofa by the bed.

Jun Shiling gently grabbed Xia Wanyuan's wet hair while drying it with the hairdryer.

After reading a comic, Xiao Bao looked up and saw Jun Shiling standing behind Xia Wanyuan, gently blowing her hair.

"It's done." Jun Shiling put down the hairdryer.

Xia Wanyuan reached out to stroke her hair. It was almost dry, so she prepared to go to bed.

However, when she turned around, she saw Xiao Bao staring at her and Jun Shiling with his big eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xia Wanyuan thought that Xiao Bao's leg was hurting.

"Daddy, do you love Mommy?"

Xiao Bao did not answer Xia Wanyuan's question but asked Jun Shiling a question.

In Xiao Bao's world, Xia Wanyuan's gentle care meant that she loved him.

When he saw Jun Shiling gently blow dry Xia Wanyuan's hair just now, he felt as if it was like Xia Wanyuan taking care of him.

"Sleep." Jun Shiling clenched the hairdryer in his hand slightly. He did not show it on his face, but he was shocked by Xiao Bao's question.

"Daddy, I'll sleep after you answer my question, okay?" Xiao Bao looked at Jun Shiling pleadingly.

"Mm, love. Go to sleep," Jun Shiling said as he walked out with his back facing Xiao Bao and Xia Wanyuan.

After receiving Jun Shiling's affirmative answer, Xiao Bao happily snuggled under the blanket.

Xia Wanyuan looked helplessly at the mischievous Xiao Bao, thinking to herself that Jun Shiling really cared about Xiao Bao. He must have said that just now to not make Xiao Bao sad.

What she did not know was that Jun Shiling was sweating as he held the hairdryer.

The next morning, while eating breakfast, Xia Wanyuan was drinking soup. Jun Shiling, who was beside her, seemed to suddenly remember something. "I helped you answer a call yesterday when you were showering. I think it was your colleague. His surname is Qin, and he reminded you not to be late for the variety program recording today."

"Oh, okay."

When Jun Shiling spoke, he had been paying attention to Xia Wanyuan's expression. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not show much emotion at the mention of Qin Wu, Jun Shiling took the last custard bun on the table with ease.

Ignoring Xiao Bao's accusing gaze, Jun Shiling placed the custard bun in Xia Wanyuan's bowl.

The fuming Xiao Bao stopped caring about it, after seeing the custard bun being placed into Xia Wanyuan's bowl.

In the backstage of Watermelon TV, everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming variety recording.

"Excuse me, where is the dressing room?" Chen Yun pulled a staff member and asked.

A long time ago, Chen Yun had led a few gold medal celebrities under him. Now that they were also A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry, he had been to Watermelon TV before.

Unfortunately, over the years, the artistes that Chen Yun had taken care of had become more and more muddled. He had no chance to come here, and he no longer knew the way inside.

"Turn left at the end."

"Alright."

Chen Yun brought Xia Wanyuan to the dressing room, where only Ruan Yingyu and the others were.

"The Long Ballad" was originally a male genre production with only two main female roles, so only Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu were on the list of actors involved in the publicity of the drama.

At that moment, there was a circle of people standing around Ruan Yingyu. Those in charge of makeup, hair, nails, and clothes were all very busy serving her.

Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter, Ruan Yingyu glanced in the mirror, jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Chen Yun made Xia Wanyuan sit on the chair. The two of them waited for a while, but no makeup artist came to help Xia Wanyuan with her makeup.

"It's almost time. Someone come and put on makeup for us."

Going on stage was different from day-to-day makeup. One needed a professional makeup artist, a stylist, to correspond with the image of the artiste according to the theme of the variety show.

"There are clothes over there. Pick one and try it on first. I'll do it for you when we're done here."

Beside Ruan Yingyu, a man with exquisite makeup was painting Ruan Yingyu's eyebrows while perfunctorily brushing Chen Yun off without even turning his head.

"Then let's look at the clothes first." Chen Yun moved the clothes rack over.

When he looked at it, Chen Yun's thick eyebrows furrowed. Even a straight man like Chen Yun would find the clothes on it unsightly.
