Chapter 675: Treacherous Scoundrel
Although he didn’t quite understand the importance of losing a child, Jiang Xuecheng still spoke very seriously.
It was as if as long as Su Wan could tell him who the bad guy was, he could carry a knife and fight at any time.
“Wan Wan, don’t cry, okay? If anyone bullies you, we can bully them back together.”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he shook his head. He stretched out his well-defined fingers and wiped the tears on Su Wan’s face bit by bit.
He wiped it very carefully, as if Su Wan was a rare treasure at the tip of his heart, afraid that it would break.
What a silly child…
If there was a reason why their child was gone, then both she and the man in front of her had to bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, Su Wan let out a low sigh.
Su Wan put her arms around Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulders and rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s head, pretending that this was not a naive child who was ignorant of everything, but the man on Earth who could give her a shoulder to lean on.
Xuecheng, I’m afraid…
When will you really think of me?
I really can’t hold on any longer…
I didn’t protect our child well…
A tear slid down Su Wan’s cheek.
Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan didn’t speak and just cried silently, and he became even more fl.u.s.tered.
He cupped Su Wan’s face in a daze, and without thinking, he put his lips under Su Wan’s eyes and kissed away the tear that fell.
The moist touch landed on Su Wan’s face. It was as if an illusion had appeared in a trance.
“Wan Wan, your tears are salty.”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled embarra.s.sedly and spoke very seriously, as if he wanted to make Su Wan laugh.
However, this joke was not funny at all. Su Wan’s expression did not change. She just hugged him in a daze, looking like a marionette that had lost its soul.
There was only beautiful skin, but there was no life in it.
The more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. He knew that Su Wan was in a very bad mood, so he only dared to carefully pick up a strand of Su Wan’s hair.
“Wan Wan, why is your hair so much longer than mine?”
Such a childish question came from the mouth of Jiang Xuecheng. If it was on earth, Su Wan would have found it unbelievable, but now she was already used to it.
In the past, Su Wan would still be in the mood to explain such trivial matters to him. However, she was not in the mood at all now.
Whenever she thought about the child that she had lost, Su Wan felt as if the entire world had collapsed.
This was a nightmare that she would never wake up from. She would never forget it.
Su Wan felt a sharp pain in her heart. She forced the corners of her lips to curl into a bleak smile.
“Okay, Cheng, I’m not in the mood today. I’ll explain it to you next time, okay?”
Seeing the empty look in Su Wan’s eyes, Jiang Xuecheng, who was only six years old, did not dare to pester her like before. He nodded his head obediently.
“Let’s sleep then, okay? If there’s anything unhappy, just sleep!”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s suggestion, Su Wan nodded her head.
Then, Jiang Xuecheng turned off the light and hugged Su Wan to sleep.
Their hair overlapped, and in the darkness, they could smell each other’s breaths.
Although his intelligence was limited, Jiang Xuecheng still felt uneasy. He felt that something was wrong with Su Wan.
He reached out his left hand and hugged Su Wan. At the same time, he covered Su Wan’s palm with his right hand, trying to pa.s.s some strength to her.
Everything would be fine, Wan Wan.
Leaning against the arms of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan unexpectedly did not dream of those b.l.o.o.d.y and desperate scenes again.
This night, there were no nightmares, only the cool smell coming from the pillow. It was the smell of Jiang Xuecheng’s body. It was very faint, but it made Su Wan’s heart calm down.
…
The next day, when Su Wan woke up, the sun was already s.h.i.+ning brightly outside. Jiang Xuecheng had long disappeared from the pillow.
Su Wan had already woken up. She blinked her eyes and saw the elegant ceiling above her head, as well as the gorgeous crystal chandelier.
She straightened her body slightly and vaguely saw the wind chimes on the windowsill blowing, making a crisp sound.
This was her bedroom in the G.o.d’s Palace, not the surgery room that was filled with dark memories.
Nothing seemed to have changed, but it was also as if everything had changed.
Su Wan subconsciously caressed the scar on her belly. She lifted her clothes and realized that the scar had become much lighter than the previous night.
Although it was still hideous and twisted, the scope of the scar was much smaller.
Ha, it was really a gift from the heavens!
Just because she had the Dragon’s Blood that Ming Ye mentioned?
Usually, Su Wan should feel lucky, but at this moment, this scar reminded her constantly.
Even if the scar was gone, so what? Could her child come back?
Su Wan pursed her lips. She had never been as fragile as she was now. She had the urge to cry at any moment, but the tears seemed to have dried up last night.
Her eyes were hollow and red, and not a single drop of tear could be squeezed out.
It was just a bitter pain.
Su Wan heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She looked up and saw a slender figure looking down at her from above.
“You’re finally willing to wake up?”
This voice was extremely familiar. It was still as pleasant as before, but Su Wan could only feel a bone-piercing coldness.
Su Wan pursed her lips. In fact, she had woken up last night. It was just that he was not the person he was now at that time.
She had slept for so many days. She had thought a lot, but in the end, all she could feel was despair.
She did not even have the courage to face this man now.
Because in Su Wan’s eyes, Jiang Xuecheng was the executioner who indirectly killed the child in her womb.
He had clearly promised that he would ensure the safety of mother and child, but why was it like this?
No matter how much Jiang Xuecheng tried to explain himself, Su Wan would not believe him at all.
Su Wan coldly s.h.i.+fted her gaze back and did not look at Jiang Xuecheng again. She directly laid down and covered her face with the blanket.
Seeing this scene, the emperor’s body trembled. He did not expect Su Wan to not want to see him so much!
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips tightly. He quickly walked over and lifted Su Wan’s quilt in anger!
This time, the two could only look at each other. Their eyes were filled with anger.
“Do you hate me so much that you don’t even want to see me appear in front of you?”
Jiang Xuecheng was the first to speak. His lips were pursed into a straight line. His expression was as sharp as a knife and full of scrutiny.
Su Wan’s face was gloomy. She nodded without thinking and then turned her face away again.
This man was actually just a treacherous scoundrel.
“Yes, I don’t look at people like you who break their promises.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng felt a sharp pain in his heart. He raised his hand angrily, as if he wanted to slap Su Wan’s face.
However, when he raised his hand high in the air, he suddenly grabbed Su Wan’s chin.
Jiang Xuecheng used a lot of force, forcing Su Wan to look at him.
“You said I broke my promise? What about you?! Have you ever thought about what that unfilial child your belly is to me?”
