Chapter 690: The Pain Of Being Tied Down
Su Wan’s lungs were filled with too much water. Her ankle had been injured yesterday, and she had just entered the water. Even when she walked, she would feel a piercing pain.
However, she did not show it at all. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to help Jiang Xuecheng walk forward.
The man turned his head and tried his best to reduce his weight. He did not want to make Su Wan feel too uncomfortable.
He turned his head and gazed deeply at Su Wan, as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts in Su Wan’s heart.
Although it was a difficult journey, the atmosphere between them was harmonious.
From the time they first met at Glory World Hotel until now, it seemed that it was rare for the two of them to advance and retreat together.
However, this feeling was actually very good.
Even though they were both in an extremely sorry state at the moment.
Just as Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were about to approach the castle building, a group of people suddenly swarmed over.
The one leading the group was actually Diya, and beside her was Fiennes…
Su Wan pursed her lips, as if she had not seen the Siswell siblings for a long time.
What Su Wan did not know was that today was the day the high priest left, and the siblings had come to send her off.
After sending the high priest off, Diya argued that she wanted to go see Jiang Xuecheng. She had not been to the G.o.d’s Palace for the past few days. Now that she finally had an opportunity, how could she let it go!
Although she did not see the results of the DNA test with her own eyes, seeing the expressions of the emperor and the high priest, even if she was really stupid, she would have been pointed out long ago.
Diya felt that now was the best time. The Emperor must have had enough of that woman, Su Wan. If she did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack, then she would have to wait for a long time!
Therefore, Diya threatened Fiennes and said that he must let her see Jiang Xuecheng. She finally convinced Fiennes to agree, but she could not find Jiang Xuecheng!
Even Su Wan had disappeared!
At this moment, seeing the two of them appear, how could she not be shocked!
Especially when the situation of Su Wan and the Emperor was a little too terrible.
Su Wan’s dress was drenched in water. If it was not for Jiang Xuecheng’s coat, it would have been exposed.
Jiang Xuecheng’s appearance wasn’t any better than Su Wan’s. The expensive plain-colored s.h.i.+rt had long since been wrinkled. It was unknown what had been used to tear a few holes, and there was a lot of mud and fine gra.s.s on it.
Everyone was speechless. They stared at the pale faces of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, and all sorts of guesses arose in their hearts.
However, due to Jiang Xuecheng’s usual prestige in the G.o.d’s Palace, no one dared to step forward and question them.
Of course, Diya did not have such concerns. She rushed forward without thinking. Her eyes were extremely sharp. When Jiang Xuecheng walked over, she noticed that his footsteps were a little unsteady.
It was as if his knees were unable to exert any strength.
“Your Highness, what happened to your legs?”
Diya ran over worriedly. The anxiety on her face was not concealed at all.
As she asked, she pulled Jiang Xuecheng’s hand and pulled his body over to her side.
Su Wan’s body trembled at the sudden exertion of force by Diya. He stared blankly at Diya’s eyes that were filled with concern for Jiang Xuecheng. His heart ached, but his hand slowly loosened.
From a few days ago, she had been planning to leave the G.o.d’s Palace, and it was impossible for Jiang Xuecheng to leave with her.
If she and Jiang Xuecheng continued like this, it would be painful to tie each other down. It would be better to end this as soon as possible.
Therefore, she felt that it would be better for her to let go first. If she left this place, perhaps the scars in her heart would slowly heal.
Diya was a little surprised that Su Wan would actually let go of Jiang Xuecheng. She glanced at Su Wan arrogantly, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
She revealed a faint smile that showed that victory was in sight.
Heh, Su Wan, this woman, must have also realized her situation, right? She was still tactful now.
Diya s.h.i.+fted her gaze back to Jiang Xuecheng. Her amber eyes were filled with concern.
“Ah, Your Highness, your hands are so cold and your face is so pale. Let me help you to the doctor.”
“Let go of me. I can walk on my own.”
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly flung Diya’s hand away, but he did not even glance at Diya.
His pair of dark eyes stared intently at Su Wan, as if he was questioning why Su Wan wanted to let go of him.
Su Wan’s eyes welled up. She did not dare to look at Jiang Xuecheng at all.
There were still six or seven people watching. They were all female servants and guards of the G.o.d’s Palace. Diya had lost face on the spot. She was extremely unhappy, but she did not dare to voice her anger.
She gathered all of her anger onto Su Wan, and a trace of hatred flashed through her beautiful eyes.
— I really don’t know what’s so good about that woman, Su Wan. She already had a child with another man, yet His Highness was still fixated on her!
Was he bewitched?!
Faced with Diya’s piercing gaze, Su Wan’s heart tightened.
At that moment, Fiennes walked up and stood in front of Su Wan.
“Miss Su, your health isn’t very good right now, right? Let me take you away.”
Then, Fiennes grabbed Su Wan’s wrist without any explanation and led her forward.
This time, Su Wan felt as if there was a ray of light on her back. She felt that there were more gazes on her. Not only Diya, but also Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze.
However, it was different from the calmness before. At this moment, Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze was so cold that it made her heart turn cold.
“I can’t walk anymore.”
Su Wan shook her head at Fiennes. She coughed violently twice, met Fiennes’ eyes, and began to suggest taking a car.
This time, both Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng got into Fiennes’ car. However, they were not seated next to each other.
…
After arriving at the G.o.d’s Palace’s built-in hospital, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were immediately arranged to enter the emergency ward.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng both underwent a full body check-up. Both of their lungs were filled with water. Fortunately, they were rescued in time.
However, what surprised everyone was that although Su Wan did not look good, her injuries were actually not as serious as Jiang Xuecheng’s.
Su Wan only found out later that not only was Jiang Xuecheng’s palm injured, but there was also a large hole in his knee.
Su Wan could not see the specific scene, but through Diya’s description, she had already imagined a b.l.o.o.d.y scene.
Su Wan was lying in the ward with a medicine bottle hanging, and Diya rushed in just like that.
This rich young lady looked extremely angry and scolded Su Wan.
“Your Highness is such a good swimmer. How could you make yourself like this? It’s all because of you, isn’t it?”
“I’ve never seen such a shameless woman like you. You’re pregnant with someone else’s child and you still won’t Let His Highness go. You even resorted to suicide to show weakness. Don’t think that just because his highness saved you, he wants to forgive you…”
“If I were you, I would have found a brick and smashed myself to death!”
Su Wan’s face turned slightly pale when she heard Diya’s words. She was not frightened by Diya. She was just a little worried about Jiang Xuecheng’s current situation.
It turned out that his knee was also injured. No wonder he could not walk fast. Su Wan thought that it was because of the lack of oxygen and low temperature that caused his body to be paralyzed.
She raised her head and glanced at Diya indifferently.
“You’re thinking too much. I wasn’t going to commit suicide to gain sympathy.”
