Chapter 315: Bear It Together With You
After ensuring Su Wan’s hair was quite dry, Jiang Xuecheng put the towel below Su Wan’s head. He stood up and walked towards the staircase.
To help Su Wan recover soon, he decided to go to the kitchen to boil some ginger soup.
Su Wan’s body const.i.tution had always been on the weaker side. She even had irregular menses and her stomach would easily ache. Today, she had been in the rain for so long. Hopefully, she didn’t leave any problems behind.
It was now ten at night. The night had become darker and the rain outside had not stopped. Instead, it was raining more heavily now.
The cold wind whizzed past, blowing the leaves in the green belt.
Su Wan curled up on the sofa alone. She was calm in the beginning but when she felt that clean breath leaving her, her breathing became more and more rapid.
Her brows raised slightly and her forehead which was burning hot was now covered with a layer of sweat.
She shut her eyes in a daze. Although she was not fully conscious, her state was unstable. She even murmured some broken sentences.
“Why…car accident again, why must heaven be so cruel…”
“Xuecheng, you’ll be fine, don’t leave me alone…”
“Don’t leave me alone…”
The slightly bright light shone on Su Wan’s face. She picked up the blanket and her fair fingers were clenched tightly.
The corners of Su Wan’s eyes slowly became wet. A drop of crystal-clear tear flowed down along her cheek to the carpet.
Jiang Xuecheng, who had just finished boiling the ginger soup, saw Su Wan and knew instantly that she was trapped in a nightmare.
Jiang Xuecheng quickly parted Su Wan’s fingers and shook her awake.
“Wan Wan, I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Xuecheng hugged Su Wan tightly and his usual calm voice now had a sense of anxiousness.
Su Wan’s lips kept trembling, causing Jiang Xuecheng to worry.
He knew today’s car accident would definitely jar Su Wan. After all, she had experienced the tragic death of her parents and she was bound to be more sensitive.
Su Wan felt someone was beside her, holding her arms tightly.
There was a cool fragrance between her nostrils. The person’s name suddenly appeared in her mind.
Su Wan opened her eyes and saw that face she kept thinking about. Her heartbeat missed a beat uncontrollably.
Instantly, her almond eyes were teary.
Su Wan felt a sensation in her nose and she wrapped her arms around Jiang Xuecheng’s neck.
“I thought I’d never see you again. You must promise to be by my side all the time.
Perhaps it was because of the life and death test that Su Wan felt extremely grateful just for this person to appear in her world safely.
Jiang Xuecheng pinched Su Wan’s nose. His deep eyes met hers.
Suddenly, his lips curved into a nice radian.
“Silly girl, I’m right here and I won’t go anywhere.”
Jiang Xuecheng paused. He carefully parted Su Wan’s hand and stood up. Then, he pa.s.sed the ginger soup to Su Wan. “Be a good girl and drink this ginger soup. Then, get a good night’s sleep. You’ll feel better tomorrow.”
Su Wan nodded obediently. She took over the ginger soup from Jiang Xuecheng silently and drank it quickly.
When Su Wan finished drinking, Jiang Xuecheng went near her and wanted to carry her to the bedroom to sleep.
However, Su Wan unexpectedly came jumping onto Jiang Xuecheng. She suddenly took Jiang Xuecheng by the shoulder and her pair of hazy eyes were as if filled with lots of emotions.
The slightly bright light in the living hall shone on Su Wan’s red cheeks, making them look like cherry blossom. Jiang Xuecheng gulped and his dark eyes deepened.
He knew very clearly that she looked like this because she was sick but he was still dazzled.
He had never doubted his own will power but unfortunately, in front of this woman, his will power had always been defeated.
Jiang Xuecheng recollected himself and with a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, he said, “Wan Wan, be good, I’ll carry you up to the room.”
Just when Jiang Xuecheng stretched out his hand to grab Su Wan’s waist, he saw Su Wan standing up and that instant, he felt a warm touch.
The rose-like pale pink lips came but it did not land on his lips. Instead, it landed on his eyes.
Su Wan slanted her head and her clear eyes curved like a crescent, as if laughing at Jiang Xuecheng’s stupor.
“Xuecheng, you’re silly…”
Before waiting for Su Wan to finish talking, Jiang Xuecheng held her head and gave her an overbearing kiss.
Who asked this girl to mess with him?
He was in good mood and had meant to give her a day off today.
Su Wan whined but as soon as the powerful kiss fell, it attacked fiercely, making her abandon her armour and raise the flag of surrender.
When Su Wan felt Jiang Xuecheng’s unique breath and she could feel her body’s temperature continuously rising.
However, this time, it was not because of her fever but this man.
Seeing Su Wan holding her breath as if she was lack of oxygen and the tip of her ears a little red, Jiang Xuecheng shook his head and he smiled.
The little woman in front of him was like a sweet grape and he couldn’t wait to swallow her.
“We have been kissing for so long but why can’t you breathe properly while kissing?”
Jiang Xuecheng let go of Su Wan for a moment and gave her time to breathe in fresh air.
Su Wan’s clear eyes shone in the light and arousing the unstoppable interest of those who saw them.
Su Wan stared steadily at the man in front of her. Her consciousness was now clearer. She murmured, “I’m sorry, I’ve suddenly forgotten that I’d pa.s.s my germs to you.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was still hoa.r.s.e and his dark eyes were full of blazing fire, “I don’t mind. Just as well if I can suffer together with you.”
Was this what was meant by sharing sorrows and difficulties between husband and wife?
Upon hearing Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan was stunned.
Before waiting for Su Wan to regain her senses, Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head once more and gave her another predatory kiss.
Jiang Xuecheng’s broad palm pa.s.sed through Su Wan’s hair and her body trembled uncontrollably as if being electrified.
She was suddenly infected by Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan stared at the man’s handsome face contour and a little heat arose in her eyes.
It would be good if this way could help her to ensure he was by her side.
Ripples showed up in Su Wan’s heart, as if someone had thrown a stone at it. She no longer avoided Jiang Xuecheng. Instead, she t.i.tled her face up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
A smile appeared in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He carried Su Wan by the waist and strutted up the stairs.
Su Wan gave out a soft cry. She buried her head in front of Jiang Xuecheng. With a smile, she began to count his heartbeat.

The night had come and Fontainebleau was all quiet. The sky was dark but it was still raining lightly.
The curtain of the bedroom was let down but in Su Wan’s and Jiang Xuecheng’s world, it had long been bright and clear.
