Chapter 939: Meeting During Their Holiday

Her father was loyal to the Queen and wielded a part of the military power in the Capital. After Sihan became the King, he naturally had to start nurturing his own people to slowly obtain the military power for his own.

After the Queen abdicated her position, her father remained arrogant in the Royal family. Sihan must have long been annoyed by his actions, but had yet to find a chance to get back the military power her father was holding.

She heard that one of her father’s adjutants had misused his power in the Capital, not only having been corrupt, but had also taken the lives of several others misusing his power. This allowed Sihan to get something on her father, as in order to save his wife and children, the adjutant had confessed to several things her father had done.

Hearing this, Shangguan Wan didn’t feel an ounce of pity or sadness.

If one hurt others, they would end up hurting themselves. This saying was never wrong!

…Before Shangguan Wan brought Little Xingxing to Ocean Island, Captain Jiang found out and brought his new girlfriend, Le Le along with them.

Le Le was from the cultural corp. She was cute and energetic, being especially warm and cheerful when she saw Shangguan Wan and Little Xingxing.

Le Le knew that Captain Jiang used to like Shangguan Wan secretly, but she didn’t mind at all, because Shangguan Wan was a female general that she really well respected.

The aura and charisma on Shangguan Wan was already very attractive to begin with, so Le Le thought that Captain Jiang had good taste.

In addition, Le Le and Little Xingxing got along very well, the two of them lifting the atmosphere of the group on their way there.

Ocean Island was one of the tourist cities in the country and the flight would take two and a half hours.

After they got off the plane, the group arrived at the hotel they had booked earlier. The moment they got on their vehicle, Shangguan Wan’s phone started to ring.

When Shangguan Wan saw that it was Jing Ting calling, her lashes fluttered slightly.

Her finger accidentally rejected the call.Since Little Xingxing, Captain Jiang and Le Le were with her, Shangguan Wan didn’t call him again.

Once they arrived at the hotel, Le Le pulled Little Xingxing towards the sea excitedly, while Shangguan Wan remained in her room instead of going with them.

Shangguan Wan stood on the balcony. She stared at the call she had rejected earlier, looking down as she redialed the number.

Every ring made her feel slightly nervous.

It wasn’t because of Jing Ting, but because she wanted to hear about Ye Yanfeng’s news from Jing Ting.

The call rung about five times before it was picked up.

“Miss Shangguan, I thought that you didn’t want to take my call.” Jing Ting’s voice held a hint of melancholy.

Shangguan Wan laughed politely. “I had something on earlier. Can I ask why Mr Jing called me?”

“Oh, I’ve been busy recently and only got time. Does Miss Shangguan have time tomorrow? I want to ask you out for a trip!”“I’m sorry, I’m having a vacation at Ocean Island.” Shangguan Wan paused, before she probed, “Mr Jing, can I ask about Ye Yanfeng…”

“I planned to ask him to go on the trip together tomorrow.” As if thinking of something, Jing Ting asked, “Is Miss Shangguan vacationing at Ocean Island?”

Shangguan Wan hummed in response.

“I haven’t had a vacation in a long time. I’ll get Yanfeng later to go and find Miss Shangguan at Ocean Island together!”

When Shangguan Wan heard Jing Ting’s words, her heart beat faster consciously.

Shangguan Wan did her best to control her emotions, as she spoke in her calmest voice possible, “Ye Yanfeng seems to hate me. If you want to come over with him, it’ll be best if you tell him that I’m not here.”

“Okay.”

After the call ended, Shangguan Wan leaned against the railing, a bright smile on her lips.

All of the depressing emotions she felt the last few days disappeared into nothing.Although there was barely any development to her plan, as long as she can see him still, it was a good start!

…

When they were eating at the buffet restaurant in the evening, Le Le glanced at Shangguan Wan. “Sister Wan’er, you seem happier! Do you feel a lot better after coming here?”

Shangguan Wan replied, “Is it very obvious?”

Le Le nodded. “Yes. Although you smiled too in the past, your eyes were dull. When you smile now, your eyes are filled with sparkles, so you look a lot happier!”

“It’s probably because I have something to expect now!”

Le Le didn’t really understand what Shangguan Wan meant, but she didn’t want to clarify her doubts.

…

Once they were done eating, Shangguan Wan brought Little Xingxing towards the beach.

Little Xingxing looked up at Shangguan Wan. “Wanwan, are you still thinking about that person?”Shangguan Wan carried Little Xingxing in her arms. “It’s Uncle.”

Little Xingxing pouted. “Anyways, I don’t like that Uncle. Wanwan, can’t you like another Uncle instead?”

“Give Mommy three months. If he still doesn’t like me, then I’ll like another Uncle, alright?”

Little Xingxing nodded. “Okay, I’ll find a more handsome Uncle for Wanwan when that time comes.”

Shangguan Wan burst out in laughter from Little Xingxing’s words.

…

Sometime in the middle of the night, Shangguan Wan received a message from Jing Ting. It seemed that his group of friends had arrived at the hotel.

Changing her clothes, Shangguan Wan left a note for Little Xingxing, who was deep asleep, before she walked out of the room.

When Shangguan Wan walked out from the elevator, she saw the two men standing in the lobby, as well as… Bailey.

Jing Ting was doing the check-in procedures while Ye Yanfeng was standing next to him. It had been two weeks since she last saw him, and he seemed to have lost a bit of weight since. He was wearing a white casual outfit, while his hands were in his pocket as he looked to his side to talk to Bailey.

She did not know what Bailey was saying, but he smirked devilishly in return. It was a smile she missed terribly.

Shangguan Wan sucked in a deep breath. She didn’t shy away, walking forward to greet Jing Ting instead. “Mr Jing.”

When Jing Ting saw Shangguan Wan, he pulled her into a big hug.

Shangguan Wan looked a little different from how she did in her usual military uniform. She was wearing a Persian-styled maxi dress, her hair permed with wavy curls that rested casually on her slender shoulders. She had a hint of makeup, looking pretty and playful, yet feminine as well.

After Jing Ting hugged Shangguan Wan, he took a more careful look at her before he exclaimed excitedly, “When Miss Shangguan isn’t wearing your military uniform, you changed into a woman that one cannot look away from! Miss Shangguan Wan can really wear any style of clothes!”

Shangguan Wan shook her head with a smile. “Mr Jing, you flatter me.”

Bailey, who was next to Ye Yanfeng, didn’t think that she would meet Shangguan Wan here. Especially with how Shangguan Wan looked in her dress, even her thought that Shangguan Wan was extremely feminine and charming.

She never thought that Shangguan Wan would have this side to her.

Bailey glanced at the man next to her unconsciously. In the past two weeks, he had been in the hospital, his eyes sometimes good and sometimes bad. Also, she had secretly overheard his conversation with the doctor. Apart from his eyes eventually losing its sight, there was something even more serious…

As Bailey was dazing out, a firm hold wrapped around her shoulders. She glanced at the man who had pulled her into his arms. If she didn’t understand why he wanted her to be his girlfriend in the past, it was more than clear now…

Bailey had fallen for him at first sight. Although she knew she wouldn’t be able to get his reciprocated feelings, she would still cooperate with him completely.

Just as he hugged her, she leaned into his warm embrace.

After greeting Jing Ting, Shangguan Wan glanced towards Ye Yanfeng.
