Jun s.h.i.+ling was reading the invitation in his hand. Xia Wanyuan walked over, and Jun s.h.i.+ling naturally raised an arm. Xia Wanyuan snuggled into his arms. “What are you looking at?”
Jun s.h.i.+ling placed the invitation in front of Xia Wanyuan. “An invitation to the 30th birthday of the Lin family’s young master.”
“Thirty years old?” Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. “This isn’t considered a major birthday milestone. Why is it held so grandly?”
Furthermore, generally speaking, among the big families, juniors were not qualified to invite other families during the birthday banquet.
Unless there were other major events that needed to be witnessed by the major families at this birthday banquet.
!!
“You guessed right.” Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan’s head. “Lin Qingyuan will succeed the Lin family on his 30th birthday and become the new head of the Lin family.”
“Then?” Xia Wanyuan acutely saw something else in Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes. “I keep feeling that you haven’t told me anything else.”
“Mm.” Jun s.h.i.+ling tapped his right cheek. “Kiss me and I’ll tell you.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and leaned over to kiss Jun s.h.i.+ling. “CEO Jun, please tell me.”

A smile appeared in Jun s.h.i.+ling’s eyes. “Wei Jin is the most outstanding junior in the Wei family in the south. This time, Wei Zhong wants to give Wei Jin to Lin Qingyuan as his successor gift.”
“But Wei Jin and Mu Feng are already married. Isn’t Wei Zhong afraid that this matter will be blown up by the Mu family?” Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. They were all big families. Wei Jin was already the legally recognized daughter-in-law of the Mu family. What was Wei Zhong doing with the Mu family?
“Only Mu Feng knows how to cause trouble in the Mu family, but the power of the Mu family is temporarily in Mu Ting’s hands. Mu Feng will only be stopped if he wants to cause trouble.”
Xia Wanyuan had also figured out some of the joints.
In her previous life, there were still people who sent their daughters out for marriage and gave their wives to their superiors for the peace of the border.
These things still existed in the modern world, but they had become more hidden.
“I want to attend.” Xia Wanyuan thought that since Wei Zhong would send Wei Jin to the Lin family, Wei Jin would definitely attend Lin Qingyuan’s birthday banquet.
“Got it.” Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled. “I’ll go with you.”
“Aren’t you busy?” As far as Xia Wanyuan knew, Jun s.h.i.+ling was much busier this year than last year. Sometimes, he was so busy that he worked overtime until very late.
]Jun s.h.i.+ling nodded. “I’m busy. I’ll just bring my work along. Anyway, I want to go with you.”
Xia Wanyuan snorted softly. “How clingy.”
Although she said that she despised it, Xia Wanyuan’s tone was very light.
Although she could complete these things herself, she would feel more at ease if Jun s.h.i.+ling accompanied her.
“Hubby treats you so well. Do you have any rewards?” Jun s.h.i.+ling put the invitation aside and carried Xia Wanyuan onto his lap. “Give me some rewards.”
Xia Wanyuan pushed him. “No.”
Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled and lowered his head. “Yes.”
Outside the living room, Uncle w.a.n.g secretly glanced in. His old face was red. He waved at the back. “Go down, go down. Come back later.”
Uncle w.a.n.g walked into the garden with his hands behind his back. When he saw the various flowers blooming, he clicked his tongue. “Spring is here.”

In Beijing Hospital, Mu Feng had recently undergone another surgery. He lay in bed for two days before waking up. The first thing he thought of when he woke up was Wei Jin.
“Someone,” Mu Sheng shouted. A guard quickly entered. “Young Master Mu, what can I do for you?”
“Help me downstairs.”
The guard hesitated for a moment. “Young Master Mu, CEO Jun has instructed that it’s not suitable for you to go downstairs now.”
However, Mu Feng was very determined. “Help me down. If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility.”
The guard could not dissuade him and could only step forward to help Mu Feng down.
The surgery wound on Mu Feng had yet to heal. He walked from upstairs to downstairs for fifteen minutes. When he saw the empty ward, there was no shock in Mu Feng’s eyes.
He had already sensed that something was wrong when he opened his eyes. Wei Jin knew his surgery time. Logically speaking, Wei Jin would definitely come up to visit him. However, when he opened his eyes and saw that the bed was empty, he had a bad feeling.
“Where is she?” Mu Feng’s voice was very calm.
“Young Master Mu, Miss Wei has already completed the discharge procedures and left. We don’t know where she went exactly. You have to understand that we’re just errand boys,” the guard answered Mu Feng’s question with a troubled expression.
Mu Feng’s expression was cold. The silver hair that fluttered behind her head seemed to have lost its l.u.s.ter and landed quietly on her shoulder. He turned around and went upstairs before calling Jun s.h.i.+ling.
Jun s.h.i.+ling’s response was very simple. “Rest well. Wei Jin is temporarily safe.”
Jun s.h.i.+ling’s words had always been convincing. Mu Feng knew that Wei Jin was temporarily safe and felt relieved. However, when he thought of Wei Jin’s current situation, he was filled with worry.
Mu Feng entered a long string of code on his phone and entered an encrypted website. After verifying his ident.i.ty, Mu Feng successfully entered.
His fingers flew as he entered a long string of information with a price attached.
Ten minutes later, this mission was accepted. Only then did Mu Feng turn off his phone and close his eyes to think for a while. After a while, he opened his eyes, which were surging with light.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and w.a.n.g Ya walked in.
She could not hide the smile on her face. “Brother Feng, you’re awake? I’ve been so worried these few days. Fortunately, you’re fine.”
As she spoke, w.a.n.g Ya wanted to lean towards Mu Feng.
Mu Feng was in a bad mood and he had an extremely ostentatious personality. It was just that he had restrained himself a little after meeting Wei Jin.
The fragrance on w.a.n.g Ya was getting closer and closer. Mu Feng stood up and did not notice the wound on his body.
He looked at w.a.n.g Ya fiercely. “Get lost.”
w.a.n.g Ya pursed her lips. Thinking that Wei Jin, whom Zhang Yi had mentioned that she had already disappeared, she boldly stepped forward. “That woman has already left. Why do you still want her? She’s not even…”
Mu Feng’s eyes suddenly became terrifying. He stared intently at w.a.n.g Ya. “How do you know she left? Who told you? Zhang Yi or Mu Ting?”
w.a.n.g Ya suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She covered her mouth. “No, I was talking nonsense.”
However, Mu Feng grabbed w.a.n.g Ya’s wrist so hard that he almost crushed it. “Speak.”
w.a.n.g Ya’s eyes were filled with tears of pain. “It hurts, it hurts. I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I heard it from Uncle Mu and my mother.”
Mu Feng shook off w.a.n.g Ya’s hand. w.a.n.g Ya was unstable and fell onto a shelf not far away. The basin instantly fell and drenched w.a.n.g Ya.
“Brother Mu Feng.” w.a.n.g Ya wanted to say something, but she was so frightened by Mu Feng’s gaze that she could not speak.
Mu Feng stood quietly and looked down at w.a.n.g Ya with a bone-chilling gaze. “If I hear another ‘brother’ coming out of your mouth, you can try and see if your mother can protect your tongue.”
At this moment, Mu Feng was no longer as lazy as usual. It was as if his entire body was cold, scaring w.a.n.g Ya so much that she could not speak.
Mu Feng did not want to stay in this room anymore. He pulled open the door and strode out.
At that moment, in a private hospital in Beijing, Zhang Yi was standing beside Mu Ting. As she listened to the doctor’s introduction of the IVF, she looked troubled.
Because Zhang Yi was already very old, the chances of failure were very high. The doctor’s suggestion was, “It’s best to give up on IVF. Otherwise, it will cause immeasurable harm to Mother’s body.”
Before Zhang Yi could speak, Mu Ting had already said, “Will she die? What are the chances?”
The doctor looked at Zhang Yi. “The probability of death is 1%, but if the growth changes after being transplanted to the mother, the mortality rate will reach up to 50%.”
Mu Ting looked at Zhang Yi. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, the Mu family is rich. I’ll give you the best medicine. You’ll be fine.”
Zhang Yi clenched her fists. She panicked when she heard 50%, but Mu Ting had already turned around. “Just do this. Arrange the surgery as soon as possible.”
“Alright then.” Mu Ting had offered a high price and he was very willing. The doctor had no choice but to agree to Mu Ting’s request.
However, he glanced at Zhang Yi, who was beside Mu Ting. Her face was pale, and the doctor shook his head gently.
Sigh, who said that it was easy to be a rich wife?

In Continent F, under a towering tree, a small fire was burning, transmitting its heat to Xia Yu, who was lying not far away.
It had been a day and night, but Xia Yu still did not wake up.
Stone sat beside Xia Yu worriedly and looked at Lin Yi. “Sister, will Brother Xia Yu wake up?”
Lin Yi glanced at Xia Yu’s young face. Because of the lack of medicine, Xia Yu’s wound was a little inflamed, accompanied by a fever. Now, his entire forehead was hot, and his face was red.
Although his insides were burning, because the temperature here was low at night, Xia Yu’s hands were still cold.
“Let’s see if he can survive tonight.” Lin Yi placed a piece of oilcloth on the ground and folded it into a semicircle. “Sleep for a while first. I’ll watch him. We have to move elsewhere tomorrow. It’s not safe here anymore.”
The rebels had already occupied the entire seaside city and were now advancing inland.
“It’s okay, Sister. I’ll look after Brother Xia Yu with you.” However, children were still children after all. After a day of torture, not long after he finished speaking, he unknowingly lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Lin Yi pulled some leaves and weeds and covered the stone. Then, he took a towel and dipped it in the water in the oilcloth.
There was a small river not far from here. During the day, Lin Yi and Stone had carried a large box of water back from her medicine box.
Lin Yi fed Xia Yu some water first, then took a towel and kept wiping his forehead.
There were no conditions here, so she could only use physical methods to lower the temperature.
“Hot… Cold…” Xia Yu closed his eyes and called out unconsciously.
Lin Yi saw that his forehead was burning, but his hands were cold. She took off her coat and covered Xia Yu. “There’s nothing I can do even if you’re cold. I left my luggage in that city. This d.a.m.n war.”
In a daze, Xia Yu smelled a faint fragrance. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Sister.”
He called ‘sister’ out in an extremely weakly with obvious dependence manner. Lin Yi’s heart ached when she heard it, and her actions became gentler.
“Jiang Yun…” Not long after, another woman’s name popped out of Xia Yu’s mouth. Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that this should be the name of this young man’s sweetheart.
Lin Yi did not understand what Xia Yu was saying at all. She helped Xia Yu cool down time and time again.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yi finally relaxed when she sensed that Xia Yu’s forehead was not so hot and his hand began to feel warm. She slowed down the speed of wiping.
Xia Yu gradually calmed down. There was only the sound of the breeze beside Lin Yi’s ear. At some point, she had also fallen asleep from exhaustion.
The temperature difference in Continent F was huge. The next day, just as the sun rose, the temperature in the air rose rapidly. The sunlight shone through the leaves and shone on Xia Yu’s face.
Xia Yu felt a little hot and his back hurt.
He opened his tired eyes and was blinded by the dazzling sunlight above.
Xia Yu subconsciously tilted his head.
Then, he saw an extremely young Chinese girl lying beside him.
This girl was wearing a simple s.h.i.+rt. Her facial features were beautiful, and her long eyelashes fluttered like a fan on her face.
Xia Yu’s eyes flashed with vigilance and confusion. He looked around and saw that Stone was sleeping not far away, snoring softly.
The fire by his feet had already turned into charcoal, and there was a medical kit beside it.
The vigilance in Xia Yu’s heart disappeared a little. He wanted to sit up, but it affected the wound on his back and he gasped in pain.
When Lin Yi heard the voice, she opened her eyes warily and met Xia Yu’s bright almond-shaped eyes.
She was stunned for a moment. When Xia Yu closed his eyes, she could tell that he was a very handsome man.
However, she did not expect that when Xia Yu opened his eyes, he was very different from the Chinese soldier she had imagined. Other than determination, there was a hint of arrogance.
Lin Yi was only stunned for a moment before reacting. She sat up and pressed Xia Yu down. “Don’t move. You were shot. I took the bullet out for you. The wound was simply st.i.tched up.”
Xia Yu nodded. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. We’re all Chinese who wandered outside.” Lin Yi touched Xia Yu’s forehead. “Fortunately, you don’t have a fever.”
Xia Yu glanced at her young face. “Are you a medical intern here?”
Lin Yi glanced at him. “No, I’m a war reporter. However, as a reporter in such a place, I have to learn some medical knowledge. It’s guns and bullets for no reason. Don’t worry, I have a license. I took the test myself.”
Surprise flashed across Xia Yu’s eyes. “You look very young.”
Lin Yi could not help but laugh, her eyes s.h.i.+ning. “I was originally very young, okay? I just came out a little early. My parents brought me over five years ago. Later on, they…”
At this point, a hint of sadness appeared in Lin Yi’s eyes. “Forget it, let me take a look at your wound again. We have to move. It’s not safe here anymore.”
