Chapter 680: Relative Or Lover
Su Wan stared at her left hand in disbelief. She repeatedly looked at her hand and even reached into her pocket.
But there was no wedding ring!
How could this be? Ever since Jiang Xuecheng had designed that wedding ring for her, it had never left her side except for when she bathed!
When the man saw that Su Wan ignored his proposal, he immediately frowned.
“What are you looking for?”
His voice was cold, echoing in the sunny hall, but it was still somewhat sinister.
When Su Wan heard this, her heart beat violently twice.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng without blinking. She almost cried out in surprise!
“Where’s the ring on my left ring finger? Did you hide it from me?!”
The doubt in her tone was not concealed at all.
The emperor’s face darkened, and his expression became as cold as a blade!
He had never expected that Su Wan would not only ignore his proposal, but also look for the ring with an anxious expression!
At the banquet held by the Siswell family, Su Wan had once admitted to Diya that the ring was a gift from a man!
At that time, Su Wan had vaguely said that it was a gift from a relative, but now that he thought about it carefully, the feeling in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart grew more and more unpleasant…
When the man thought about this, he was undoubtedly reminded once again that Su Wan had once been pregnant with someone else’s child.
His face became dull, and his voice was like the cold water of a pond, so cold that people would s.h.i.+ver.
“What’s the point of finding a broken ring like that! If you like diamond rings, I’ll buy you eight, ten of them at random. I guarantee that they’ll be more gorgeous than that diamond ring.”
The content was obviously close to the nouveau riche, but when it came from Jiang Xuecheng’s mouth, there was nothing wrong with it. Instead, it gave people an invisible deterrent.
The corner of Su Wan’s forehead twitched. She frowned slightly and said without thinking.
“No, that’s a gift from…”
Su Wan originally wanted to say that it was a gift from Jiang Xuecheng, but now that she said it, how could Jiang Xuecheng believe her?
The wedding ring between her and Jiang Xuecheng was not about the value of the money, but its memorial significance.
The female ring had the initials of Jiang Xuecheng engraved on it, while the male ring had her name engraved on it, signifying that they were in each others’ hearts.
Now that Jiang Xuecheng’s male ring had been lost, what would happen if her female ring was never seen again!
Halfway through her words, Su Wan could only stop the car and anxiously change her story.
“That was given to me by my closest family member. Your Highness, don’t make a scene. Give me back my ring!”
The man’s expression darkened, and the anger on his face could no longer be concealed!
“Is it a family member or a lover?”
After speaking properly, he no longer maintained his original posture of looking up at Su Wan. Instead, he stood up abruptly!
The man’s tall and slender body was like a mountain peak, shrouding Su Wan in the shadows.
When Su Wan heard what Jiang Xuecheng said just now, she felt a chill in her heart. At the same time, she felt helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It was the first time she knew that a person who was jealous of her could be so reasonable.
It was even… almost terrifying.
When Su Wan saw the powerful face of Jiang Xuecheng approaching her head, Su Wan gulped. She did not want to fall out with Jiang Xuecheng now, so she could only shake her head slowly.
“It’s not what you think.”
Su Wan said it with certainty. The expression on her face was sincere, but in fact, she felt a little guilty.
Jiang Xuecheng was her spouse. No matter how it was calculated, it was one level higher than the status of a lover, right?
The man snorted coldly. He did not say a word. He silently looked at Su Wan’s sincere and anxious face, forcing Su Wan to feel that her palms were dripping with sweat.
The handsome face of Jiang Xuecheng kept enlarging in front of her eyes. He practically used the tip of his nose to press against Su Wan’s nose. Those burning hot breaths were all pounced on Su Wan’s face.
Their eyes met and their breaths met, making Su Wan feel very uncomfortable.
When could he move away?!
Just as Su Wan was in fear, Jiang Xuecheng’s head finally left the top of Su Wan’s head.
Feeling that stern and stern man take a step back, Su Wan held her sweaty hand and subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself for being timid. Why was it that when she saw Jiang Xuecheng, she was like a mouse seeing a cat?
Clearly, the two of them used to be so close and at ease…
But now, this made her…
Yes, this wasn’t the past. She wasn’t his wife in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart.
She was merely a small chef in the G.o.d’s Palace. Perhaps her status was not even comparable to that of a maid. There was a difference in status. She could not even save her own child’s life…
Su Wan took a deep breath and finally suppressed the sour feeling in her heart. What was the use of thinking about it again? Could she kill Jiang Xuecheng, kill the High Priest, and pay for her child’s life?
Su Wan had never been bold. She did not even dare to mention killing a chicken, let alone attack Jiang Xuecheng.
Compared to hating Jiang Xuecheng, she hated herself more for being useless and unable to protect her child…
Su Wan raised her gaze and looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hope.
“Your Highness, I beg you to tell me where the ring is. It’s really important to me!”
To some people, the ring was just a dead object. To Su Wan, it was her only consolation left in this world.
It was something that Jiang Xuecheng had personally designed for her. She could not lose it!
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect Su Wan to continue to pester him about the ring. The unknown fire in his heart burned even stronger as he shot a cold glance at Su Wan.
“How would I know where it went? Don’t bother me!”
This woman really did not know what was good for her!
She had even pretended not to hear his proposal. Later on, she had even said that she did not want him to give her a bigger and more luxurious diamond ring. What exactly did Su Wan want?!
After Jiang Xuecheng said those words, he seemed to be unable to stand being together with Su Wan anymore, so he directly left!
Su Wan was stunned. She smiled bitterly and looked at her injured ankle. She was silent for a second.
There was not even a pair of shoes here. He just left her like that…
No, since Jiang Xuecheng said that he did not know where her ring went, maybe it just fell somewhere. She had to find it…
Su Wan gritted her teeth and finally landed her uninjured right foot on the ground. She was ready to go back to her room with one foot on the wall to look for the ring.
She wondered if the pieces of the crystal ornaments had been swept clean?
As Su Wan thought so, she walked to the wall barefooted along the sofa.
Because the hall was paved with tiles, Su Wan could feel a refres.h.i.+ng chill coming from her right foot.
That cold feeling was similar to the look in the eyes of Jiang Xuecheng when he left.
And so, Su Wan went back to her room with one foot on the wall. She jumped for a while and rested for a while. Her posture was very comical.
But after looking at her for a long time, it inevitably made people feel sad.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Xuecheng returned to the hall with an exquisite plate. On it was a blue and white bowl filled with health-preserving porridge. It was steaming hot.
But looking around, Su Wan was gone!
