Chapter 702: Promise With Jiang Xuecheng
Su Wan looked into Jiang Xuecheng’s eager eyes and suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart.
Her lips opened, but she didn’t know how to answer Jiang Xuecheng’s question.
Should she take him away?
Because Su Wan didn’t say anything, Jiang Xuecheng’s bright eyes slowly dimmed.
Su Wan’s silence made him tremble in fear.
Although the “child” with only a six-year-old IQ didn’t quite understand the meaning of parting, as long as he thought of not being able to see Su Wan every day when he woke up, his heart seemed to be empty.
It hurt.
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and held the corner of Su Wan’s clothes as he continued to beg carefully.
“Can’t I? Cheng will be very obedient. I will definitely not make Wan Wan angry.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s long eyelashes trembled. His handsome face was like that of a G.o.d, and there were pleas written all over it. Such a humble gesture was probably something no one would have thought would appear on this man.
It was not that Su Wan was unmoved.
It was just that she knew very well that if she took Jiang Xuecheng away, it would be a real disaster when another clear-headed personality took over.
At that time, how would she explain that she had kidnapped the emperor of the G.o.d’s Palace?
She could not take him away, even if she really could not bear not to do so.
Su Wan raised her face and looked at Jiang Xuecheng seriously.
However, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of Jiangnan’s misty rain, making it impossible to distinguish the feelings hidden underneath.
“I have something to do, so I can’t take you with me. Can you wait for me here obediently? One day… One day, I will come and find you…”
This was a false promise, and Su Wan herself knew it.
However, other than lying to Jiang Xuecheng, she actually did not know how to persuade a six-year-old “child”.
Jiang Xuecheng was not really stupid when he heard this. He had a gut feeling that if he listened to Su Wan this time, they would never meet again.
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head violently. His cheeks were puffy due to his anger.
“No! I want to go with Wan Wan! You’re the one who said that we’re husband and wife, people who eat and sleep together. If you leave, what will happen to Cheng if he can’t see you?”
Hearing those low and childish words, Su Wan felt bitter and amused.
He was only a six-year-old child, yet he could draw inferences and use theory to refute her.
Su Wan stood on her tiptoes and reached out to caress the lowered head of Jiang Xuecheng. Her voice was coaxing.
“Cheng, don’t make a scene. I really have something to do…”
As Su Wan spoke, she gently hugged Jiang Xuecheng in her arms. She rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. Her voice was clear yet ethereal, like a song that could not be heard clearly coming from a tall building.
“When I’ve settled those matters… I’ll definitely come and look for you.”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head like a rattle-drum at first. However, Su Wan had repeatedly emphasized that she could only take him away in the future. In the end, Jiang Xuecheng had no other choice.
He could only nod his head, feeling wronged. Then, he held Su Wan’s hand stubbornly.
“Then we have an agreement. When you’ve settled those matters, come back and look for me.”
Su Wan’s mood was sour, but she still forced a smile on the corner of her lips and gave Jiang Xuecheng a faint smile.
“Okay, I promise you.”
After all, a six-year-old child was still easy to coax. Soon, Jiang Xuecheng stopped making trouble. After he calmed down, he suddenly remembered something.
“Let’s pinky swear!”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan eagerly. His eyes flashed as if there were stars flowing in them.
Su Wan was originally very sad, but when she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s childish words, she suddenly felt like laughing.
Jiang Xuecheng actually believed in the promise of a pinky swear!
However, Su Wan did not dare to laugh at him. After all, he was really serious about being a six-year-old “child.”.
Su Wan took the initiative to stretch out her hand and hooked her little finger with his little finger.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes sparkled. Then, he used his thumb to slowly cover Su Wan’s finger.
For a long time, they did not separate.
His expression was serious. At this moment, there wasn’t that silly look. His gentleness and indifference were unbelievable.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s expression and her heart trembled. She almost thought that Jiang Xuecheng had regained his memory. However, in the next second, she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s voice.
“Once we swear, never change for a hundred years!”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded his head happily and smiled foolishly at Su Wan.
“Alright! Our promise has been made! Wan Wan must not break it!”
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how naive Jiang Xuecheng looked.
After laughing, Su Wan felt a tearing pain in her heart again.
But no matter what, Su Wan didn’t want to show Jiang Xuecheng.
When Su Wan was ignorant, she didn’t understand the pinky promise.
She even naively thought that when someone had broken the promise, they had to hang themselves to atone for their crime.
Later on, Su Wan was popularized. It turned out that hanging in ancient times referred to a string of money. When a string was used to string a copper coin, it wouldn’t fall off, and the meaning of the promise wouldn’t change.
However, sometimes it was ridiculous to think about it. Even if a string was used to string a copper coin, even if it did not fall off, it would still be used up.
How many men and women in the world could not break their promise after making a solemn vow?
Su Wan stroked the back of Jiang Xuecheng’s head again. Under the calm surface, her heart was in a state of panic.
She would take it as if she had really made this promise with Jiang Xuecheng.
One day, when their misunderstanding was resolved, the two of them could still be together.
If possible, she hoped that such a day would come.
…
After buying the ticket, Su Wan immediately brought Jiang Xuecheng to her room to tidy up her belongings.
Su Wan did not plan to pack up her clothes. She could buy them later,
The funds under Su Wan’s card could not be used, so it meant that her current a.s.sets only had that anonymous small utility card.
Su Wan only wanted to take some of her jewelry with her and sell it for cash.
Unexpectedly, Su Wan saw the blue diamond bracelet that Jiang Xuecheng gave her.
More than ten blue diamonds were strung together. Each one was the same size, without any flaws, and the quality was excellent.
The blue diamond necklace in the middle was carved into the shape of a blue rose. It was perfectly cut, and was colorful and dazzling like the stars around the moon, making people unable to put it down.
Such a priceless item was given to her by Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan was only prepared to bring it with her along with her parents’ blue diamond necklace, but she would never sell them.
However, she had other options. Diya had lost the bet last time, and Fiennes had given her a snowflake necklace. Anyway, it was someone else’s necklace, so it would not hurt to sell it.
Su Wan quickly organized the things, and then there was only one problem.
She wanted to take Nono away.
No matter what, she could not leave Nono behind.
This problem was originally very difficult, but now that Jiang Xuecheng was here…
A confident smile appeared on Su Wan’s lips. She glanced at the man beside her, and then whispered something into his ear.
