Chapter 789: Trapped in the Mountain

Xia Wanyuan was originally wearing a long-sleeved shirt today. When she handed the blueprint to Xuan Sheng, she revealed a fair wrist.

However, Xuan Sheng’s gaze only paused for a moment before completely retracting. The light on his body immediately dimmed.

There were red marks on her fair wrist. He knew too well what those red marks represented.

Xia Wanyuan did not notice the change in Xuan Sheng’s expression. She was listening intently to the technician explain the construction procedures to her.

“I want to go in and take a look at the structure of the house. Do you want to come with me?” After hearing the technician’s explanation, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xuan Sheng but realized that he was looking at her in a daze.

“Okay.” Xuan Sheng twirled the prayer beads on his wrist and smiled at Xia Wanyuan.

He had clearly told himself before he came that she was already someone else’s wife.

However, why do I still want to get close to her? His heart could not help but ache.

“Xuan Li is your younger brother?” Coincidentally, she met Xuan Sheng today, so Xia Wanyuan asked about Xuan Li.

“What younger brother? He’s just someone those old fellows casually found to restrain me…” As Xuan Sheng accompanied Xia Wanyuan in, he told her about the connections between the forces in Glory World Corporation.

“I see.” After hearing Xuan Sheng’s words, Xia Wanyuan roughly understood that Xuan Sheng’s current situation was very awkward. “If you need any help, just tell me.”

“Miss Xia, I’ve always wanted to ask you.” Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Xuan Sheng finally stopped. His peach blossom-shaped eyes curved up with a seductive smile. “Why are you always so good? Why don’t you be cruel to me?”

“How? I won’t be cruel to my friends.” Xia Wanyuan smiled. She had ruthless means, but that was only for her enemies.

As for Xuan Sheng, he was in the friends category.

In fact, after saying that sentence, Xuan Sheng felt that he had said it in vain. “I just think that you’re too good. So good that I wanted to find a flaw to tell myself not to like you so much, but I couldn’t find it.”

“But…”

“Alright, let’s stop talking. I understand what you want to say.” Xuan Sheng did not want to hear Jun Shiling from Xia Wanyuan anymore. He stopped her.

Xia Wanyuan sighed in her heart. “Then let’s go out. I have a scene to film in the afternoon.”

“Okay.” Xuan Sheng was already quite happy to see Xia Wanyuan. He immediately accompanied her out.

There were construction works everywhere. Although there were protective belts, there were always places that were missed.

The two of them walked past a corner and suddenly a steel bar that supported the wall from the corner dropped.

Xia Wanyuan hurriedly turned around when she heard the sound. Xuan Sheng was already behind her, blocking her. He threw the steel bar to the ground.

“Are you okay?” Xia Wanyuan hurriedly asked.

“It’s nothing. It just hit me a little. The steel bar isn’t heavy.” Xuan Sheng turned his head, looking fine.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the steel bar on the ground. It was slightly thinner. Seeing that Xuan Sheng was fine, she was relieved.

“Do you need me to send you, Miss Xia?” When he walked to the door, Xuan Sheng knew the outcome, but he still asked.

“I’ll drive myself.” As expected, Xia Wanyuan rejected him.

Xuan Sheng did not speak further. He stood at the door and watched quietly. Only when Xia Wanyuan’s car disappeared from his sight did he turn and walk into the house.

“Young Master, do you want to drink some water?” The assistant handed him a bottle of water. Xuan Sheng reached out.

“Aiyo, Young Master, what’s wrong with your hand?! Why is it so injured?” The assistant looked at Xuan Sheng’s palm that was almost badly mangled and was shocked.

Xuan Sheng looked down and took the mineral water. He poured the water in his palm and felt the pain of the water seeping into his wound.

The pole just now was indeed not heavy, but the edge of the pole was filled with curled thorns. Xuan Sheng was worried that it would smash into Xia Wanyuan, so he grabbed it with his bare hands, causing his hand to bleed.

The assistant looked at the wound on Xuan Sheng’s hand that had been flushed by the water and felt an inexplicable pain. “Young Master, doesn’t it hurt?”

“Is this called pain?” The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up. What was the pain in my flesh? It was less than a ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart. 

——

Xia Wanyuan drove to the production team. Her scenes were almost done, and there were only some scenes that needed to be filmed.

Now that they saw Xia Wanyuan come, the production team did not dare to gossip behind her back.

After all, the previous Chen Xiaoguo who had quarreled with Xia Wanyuan had already left the production team. There was even news that Chen Xiaoguo had not participated in any activities for a long time. According to her company, this person might be leaving the entertainment industry.

“Wanyuan, you came at the right time. After your scene is done, take a few publicity photos.” Seeing Xia Wanyuan come, Director Wang Wei hurriedly explained things to her, in case this busy person disappeared again.

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan nodded happily and went to the dressing room to change.

While Chen Yun was busy dealing with Xia Wanyuan’s business activity, he still had to squat at the door and guard her. Looking at the pile of work in his hand, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

He did not know when his good partner would return. Now that there were many businessmen and production teams who had invited Xia Wanyuan, Chen Yun still had to come and take care of Xia Wanyuan’s daily needs. He was really too busy.

“Achoo.” Tang Yin sat in the pavilion and suddenly sneezed.

“Are you okay?” Fu Li was originally sitting a distance away from her. Seeing Tang Yin like this, he hurriedly took off his coat and handed it to Tang Yin. “Are you cold? Wear this.”

“It’s nothing.” Tang Yin waved her hand. “Didn’t you catch a cold? Wear it.”

Tang Yin had been living in Yunnan for a while. She had always heard that the waterfall in the mountains here was beautiful, so she wanted to come and take a breather.

Who would have thought that the weather would change so much in this season? It was still sunny when they went out in the morning, and it was raining heavily in the afternoon.

She and Fu Li had been sitting in the pavilion for nearly half an hour, but the rain had not stopped.

Hearing Tang Yin’s words, Fu Li could only put on his coat again.

This mountain was an undeveloped primitive mountain area. The signal was good and weak at times. In such a heavy rain environment, the signal was so weak that one could not call, let alone have an Internet connection.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, worry began to appear on Tang Yin’s face. “What should we do? The rain hasn’t stopped. If we had known, we shouldn’t have come here today.”

There was no signal on her phone and it was raining heavily. If they went out rashly, they would probably be completely lost. However, if they could not leave the mountain before dark, the temperature in the mountains would be low at night and Fu Li would catch a cold. She was afraid that his condition would worsen.

Fu Li stood up, walked to Tang Yin, and sat down. “It’s nothing. I’ll accompany you here.”

The thing that Tang Yin was most worried about still happened. The heavy rain continued until the sky darkened. She and Fu Li were completely trapped in the mountains.
