Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 837: Deeply Rooted Love (282)

But the mischievous one was still very mischievous, seemingly by nature.

While Jun Li was practicing in the room, Jun Xiangyi knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Jun Xiangyi poked her head in, "Aunt."

"How have you been getting along with Wu Xun these past few days?"

Jun Xiangyi lay on the sofa and said sullenly, "Every night I pick him up, and in the morning I send him back. We can only chat more at night; during the day, he has classes, and I’m not interested in those classes, plus he can’t see me, so it’s no fun just being next to him by myself."

Jun Li opened her eyes and picked up the rose on the table, "When he’s in class during the day and you feel bored, you can find something else to do. Can’t you just communicate more when you meet at night? Why stick together 24/7 and have no personal space?"

"But I don’t want to do anything else; I just want to have a good relationship."

"This will make the other person feel suffocated, like you’re monitoring him all the time. Give him some of his own time."

Jun Xiangyi thought about it and agreed, "You’re right, no one wants to be with a surveillance camera every day. It’s just that a high school classmate of his, named Huang Mingxi, bullied him in high school and is now at the same school. I’m worried he’s being bullied in college too. I gave that guy a lesson the second time I went to see Wu Xun at the Emperor Palace, but the kid was scared out of his wits. I wonder if he’ll do it again."

"If he’s being bullied, you can have him tell you; he’ll surely not hide it."

"But wouldn’t he feel embarrassed in front of me?"

"He likes you so much, how could he feel embarrassed?" Jun Xiangyi was also bored, spending the entire afternoon there, and only left at 5 o’clock.

A breeze picked up outside, cool on the face.

Jun Xiangyi walked out the door and unexpectedly bumped into Xu Mohan.

Since that night, when he and Nan Yuesheng left her rented apartment, they hadn’t seen each other.

"You’re back?"

"Yeah, have you recovered?"

"A lot better." Xu Mohan added a belated apology, "About last time, I’m sorry."

"You’ve apologized so often to me that nothing could make it worse." Jun Xiangyi’s eyes sparkled, "Just hope next time you’re being chased, I won’t run into you again."

She walked past him as Xu Mohan turned and watched her silhouette fade away, thinking of how he had never shown her a good face during their years of marriage, and he felt a bit guilty.

The first time he didn’t want to marry her was due to her bad reputation.

The second time he didn’t want to marry her was because he had someone he liked.

He didn’t deny that now his view of her had changed a lot.

As they interacted more, she increasingly overturned the perception he initially had of her in his mind.

"Third brother!" Shan Langyuan waved at him from Yu Bei’s home entrance, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

When Jun Xiangyi arrived at Wu Xun’s school, she thought he was in class. After not seeing him, she called him.

The first call went unanswered, and the second call was hung up immediately.

She didn’t call again, assuming he was busy and that he would call back when he was free.

So Jun Xiangyi went searching everywhere—library, dormitory, playground, shops—but couldn’t find a trace of him.

She had to reveal herself to ask his classmates, but even after questioning many, there was no sign of him.
