Chapter 665: Su Wan’s Request
Su Wan looked up at Jiang Xuecheng as she ridiculed Diya.
Her eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be water flowing inside them. It was so clear that it was beyond recognition. When Jiang Xuecheng looked at her, he could not help but feel a little soft-hearted.
“Just now, Fiennes came to see me and gave me that necklace because of his sister, so don’t misunderstand, really! I—”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Su Wan’s anxious voice, his originally gloomy anger was finally suppressed. He reached out and rubbed Su Wan’s head.
“If you’re angry, the next time we see Diya, I’ll ask her to apologize to you.”
Su Wan’s thoughts spun a few times. She was still thinking about how to appease Jiang Xuecheng, but she did not expect Jiang Xuecheng to say such a thing the moment he opened his mouth!
Let that heiress, Diya, apologize to her?
Su Wan blinked her eyes and suddenly realized that Jiang Xuecheng wasn’t angry anymore!
Su Wan immediately hugged Jiang Xuecheng’s arm and blinked her eyes like a puppy begging for candy like its owner.
“You promised! You have to make her apologize to me!”
Having Diya use her ident.i.ty as the heiress of the Siswell family to provoke her time and time again, and now she was also using her power to bully others. It felt so good.
As Su Wan said this, she almost wanted to jump up. However, she suddenly felt a piercing pain at her ankle.
Su Wan let out a low cry and suddenly lowered her head. She suddenly remembered that she had twisted her ankle!
Seeing Su Wan’s bitter face, the emperor was stunned. Then, he followed Su Wan’s line of sight and looked at her ankle.
“You really know how to make trouble. You chased me from the room to the corridor. You can twist your ankle in such a short time.”
Jiang Xuecheng gave Su Wan a sideways glance, his eyes full of mockery.
When Su Wan heard that, she raised her head and saw that Jiang Xuecheng was still in the mood to smile. She finally confirmed that he was not going to pursue the matter of Fiennes giving her the necklace.
Su Wan pouted. She stared at the elegant and tall voice in front of her and muttered with some grievance.
“After all I was worried that you would misunderstand, so I chased after you impatiently…”
Su Wan’s voice was very soft, but Jiang Xuecheng’s hearing was very good. In addition, the two of them were leaning very close to each other, so he heard everything.
This sentence was like a small feather brus.h.i.+ng against his heart.
That was great. At least Su Wan cared about him.
A faint look of joy appeared in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He was about to say something, but when he lowered his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Su Wan’s belly.
After taking the large white patient’s clothes, Su Wan’s belly was still flat and there was nothing unusual about it. However, Jiang Xuecheng clearly knew that a small life was being nurtured underneath.
In an instant, the faint smile on Jiang Xuecheng’s lips disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes and a malicious light flashed across his narrow phoenix-shaped eyes.
Sometimes it was ironic to think that someone as proud as him would one day be reduced to dust because of a simple sentence from a woman.
Su Wan felt the change in Jiang Xuecheng’s aura and blinked in confusion.
What happened to this man?
Why did he suddenly feel unhappy?
It was as if he had changed his face faster than flipping through a book…
Su Wan was anxious and could not help but reach out to tug on Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve.
“Your Highness…”
“Don’t move.”
Jiang Xuecheng calmly glanced at Su Wan and two words spilled out of his thin lips. Before Su Wan could understand, she suddenly felt a pair of hands around her waist!
Her feet were off the ground, and Su Wan felt herself being picked up unexpectedly!
Su Wan suddenly widened her eyes. Because she felt that her center of gravity was out of balance, she subconsciously reached out and hugged Jiang Xuecheng’s hand.
“You didn’t warn me first!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes were heavy. He ignored Su Wan’s remark and directly carried her into the ward.
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng treated her like air, Su Wan rolled her eyes. Bored, she rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder and listened to the man’s steady and powerful heartbeat.
From Jiang Xuecheng’s collar, Su Wan smelled the ice-cold aura on his body and suddenly felt relieved.
That was great.
At least Jiang Xuecheng did not resist physical contact with her.
…
When they reached the ward, Jiang Xuecheng carefully put her on the soft couch and turned around to search the medicine cabinet.
When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng coming over with two bottles of medicine, she subconsciously gulped.
Jiang Xuecheng did not seem to notice Su Wan’s retreat. He knelt down naturally and helped Su Wan unb.u.t.ton her shoes and socks to the other side.
Su Wan looked down at him from above. When she saw the light s.h.i.+ning on his face, her heart became even sweeter.
“It’s probably a little painful. Bear with it.”
Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan’s swollen ankle. When he saw the hideous bruise, his frown deepened.
When she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s voice, Su Wan came back to her senses and quickly nodded.
“It’s okay. I’m not afraid of pain. You can apply it.”
Jiang Xuecheng took out a cotton swab and applied some ointment on Su Wan’s leg
She didn’t know what the ointment was made of. The first thing she felt when he applied it was that it was cool and refres.h.i.+ng. The second thing she felt was intense pain.
Jiang Xuecheng put down the cotton swab. He stretched out his hand and began to ma.s.sage Su Wan’s ankle skillfully, trying to make the blood clot recede as soon as possible.
Jiang Xuecheng used a lot of force, which made Su Wan grimace for a long time!
Knowing that Jiang Xuecheng was doing this for her own good, Su Wan endured it at first, but in the end, the pain was unbearable.
Her feet could not help but shrink, and she immediately took a few deep breaths.
Jiang Xuecheng quickly reached out and grabbed Su Wan’s ankle. He looked up and gave her a cold glance.
“Didn’t you say that you’re not afraid of pain?”
Su Wan blushed and said embarra.s.sedly, “Your technique just now was really unbearable.”
Because he thought of the child in Su Wan’s belly, Jiang Xuecheng was not in a good mood. He wanted to scold Su Wan, but when he saw Su Wan’s pitiful look, he swallowed his words back.
He stared at Su Wan with an unfathomable gaze and did not say anything. Su Wan almost thought that there was something dirty on her face.
Su Wan swallowed another mouthful of water and looked back at Jiang Xuecheng in bafflement.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his eyes and finally moved his gaze away from Su Wan’s face.
“I haven’t seen you for only a few days. Why are you so listless? Are you mistreated in terms of nutrition?”
The man’s expression was indifferent. His voice was deep and magnetic, but there was no emotion in it.
Was he showing concern for her?!
Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes lit up, and she grabbed the hem of Jiang Xuecheng’s clothes like a kitten.
“No, it’s just that when I think of you refusing to see me, I can’t eat or sleep well. I’ve become thinner. Don’t refuse to see me in the future, okay?”
Su Wan lowered her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng. Her voice was very soft, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed hope.
It was hard to refuse.
But when Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words, the smile on her face suddenly collapsed.
She heard Jiang Xuecheng say.
“I’ll take you to dinner later.”
