Chapter 681: Why Do You Care About Me?
Jiang Xuecheng held the exquisite dark-patterned plate in his hand. He looked around the hall anxiously, but he could not find any trace of Su Wan!
The medicine that he gave Su Wan earlier was still intact in front of the sofa. No one took it away.
In just ten minutes, Su Wan had disappeared!
Where could this troublesome woman go?!
He had not taken Su Wan into his care before, but didn’t she still have an injury on her foot?
How far could she run?!
Jiang Xuecheng’s face was seething with anger. He swore in his heart. He suddenly had the urge to throw the tray in his hand to the ground!
Although this emperor of the God’s Palace was a little cold, he had always been well-mannered. He would never swear or break anything.
However, in front of Su Wan, he had made too many exceptions for her. Sometimes, he didn’t even look like himself.
The High Priest was right. This woman had a great influence on him. She had already influenced his judgment.
Even if Su Wan wasn’t a so-called spy, it was still very dangerous to keep such a woman by his side. However, there was a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn’t let Su Wan leave.
Otherwise, he would definitely regret it…
Jiang Xuecheng’s brows were tightly knitted, and blue veins were popping out of the hand that was holding the plate.
He stared at the lean meat porridge in the blue and white porcelain bowl, and the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
He was indeed angry earlier, but when he thought of how Su Wan had not eaten for many days, he wanted to go to the kitchen to find something for her to eat.
He did not expect that this woman would disappear the moment he returned. How could he not find it funny?
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. His mood had dropped to the freezing point. He swept his gaze over the bowl of unpleasant porridge, but in the end, he did not throw it to the ground.
Forget it. The woman’s foot was still injured. She should not have been able to run far in ten minutes.
Jiang Xuecheng bent down and placed the dark-patterned tray on the coffee table. Then, he quickly went to look for Su Wan.
Thinking back to the conversation just now, Jiang Xuecheng was almost certain that Su Wan had gone back to her room to look for her ring.
Ah, a ring given by another man, and she said that it was a relative rather than a lover?
Then why did she have to wear it on the ring finger of her left hand?
A woman whose resume was marked as unmarried, didn’t she know that wearing a ring on the ring finger of her left hand meant that she was married?
Was she trying to avoid suspicion?
Or had Su Wan already decided that she and the man who had abandoned her were husband and wife?
The more Jiang Xuecheng thought about it, the more depressed he felt. It was as if there was a thorn stuck in his throat, making him feel as if he could hardly breathe.
As he thought about it, Jiang Xuecheng quickened his pace a lot.
…
Just as Jiang Xuecheng thought, Su Wan did indeed go back to her bedroom to look for the ring.
She was glad that Jiang Xuecheng had sent someone to clean it up. The room was very clean now, and the glass shards were gone.
At least she didn’t have to be afraid of being pricked again!
Su Wan let out a sigh of relief. She had just hopped all the way here, and she felt a tingling sensation in the sole of her right foot and a slight pain in her injured left foot.
Anyway, no one was looking, so Su Wan shamelessly crawled on the ground. At least her foot didn’t hurt much.
Su Wan first swept her gaze across the table, then she lifted the sheets, pillowcases, and pillow cushions. Then she began to search the drawers in her room and under the table…
But there was nothing there!
Su Wan bit the corner of her lips, and her heart became more and more anxious.
Where did her ring go?
Although her wedding ring was elegantly made, because the diamond was relatively small, it had been teased by many people who only liked big diamonds.
Even if she had been asleep for a few days, logically speaking, no one would steal such a low-key diamond ring, right?
Moreover, those female attendants of the God’s Palace seemed to be of decent quality. Taking a step back, they shouldn’t have such courage either?
The more Su Wan thought about it, the more she felt a headache. However, she didn’t want to give up, so she could only continue to lift the carpet and search for it.
Oh God, why was it still not there?!
…
When Jiang Xuecheng arrived at Su Wan’s bedroom, he happened to see this scene.
Su Wan was sprawled on the ground, flipping over the carpet. She did not even have half a shoe on her feet. There was nothing graceful about her at all.
She would even mumble from time to time. Why was there no ring on her finger?
He did not even need to look at her face. Just by listening to her voice, one could tell that she was anxious.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan coldly. His already ugly face had turned even darker at this moment!
He did not say anything. He just stood behind her with his arms crossed.
Su Wan had been focused on looking for the ring. After searching for so long, she could not help but feel dejected. She fell to the ground in a daze and looked at the windowsill that the wind was blowing through.
Why didn’t she find it?
Just as Su Wan was feeling dejected, she suddenly felt a cold gaze from behind her.
It can’t be…
Didn’t Jiang Xuecheng just abandon her?
A proud person like him actually came to look for her so quickly?
Su Wan gulped and subconsciously turned around. Before she could see Jiang Xuecheng’s face clearly, she was met with a cold sneer.
“Why are you lying on your stomach like this!”
Su Wan’s expression turned cold. She completely did not understand why Jiang Xuecheng would come to dislike her for her lack of manners at this time.
Su Wan frowned slightly. She felt a little wronged because Jiang Xuecheng had thrown her into the hall with a cold expression and did not even give her a shoe.
“Why do you care about me?”
Su Wan struggled to hold onto the table beside her and stood up shakily.
When he saw the unruly expression on Su Wan’s face, Jiang Xuecheng almost spat out another mouthful of blood from anger.
His expression was solemn, and he swallowed back the words he had just uttered.
“You–”
Other than the high priest who was superior to others, he was usually the one who gave others a look. How could others treat him like this?
If this continued, he was afraid that he would become a ninja turtle.
Jiang Xuecheng sighed in his heart, but the expression on his face was still cold and stiff. He quickly walked forward and directly reached out to pull Su Wan.
Su Wan was shocked by Jiang Xuecheng’s actions. Before she could react, she saw that Jiang Xuecheng had already carried her by the waist!
Su Wan’s eyes were wide open. She stared angrily at Jiang Xuecheng’s face. Her anger was obvious.
“Didn’t you just leave me behind? What are you going to do this time!”
Hearing Su Wan’s “this time,” Jiang Xuecheng’s frown deepened.
However, he did not have the time to argue with Su Wan. He directly carried her out without saying a word.
This man had a cold personality. He was not a talkative person to begin with. When he was in a bad mood, he was even more lazy to speak.
When Su Wan saw that Jiang Xuecheng was stubbornly hugging her, she felt as if she was facing a great enemy. She was even a little afraid that Jiang Xuecheng was going to “torture” her.
It was not Su Wan’s fault for thinking too much. It was just that she had seen how violent Jiang Xuecheng was, and she felt a lingering fear in her heart.
Su Wan felt uneasy all the way until Jiang Xuecheng carried her down and placed her on the sofa. Only when Su Wan saw the bowl of health-preserving porridge did she stop.
Su Wan blinked, and an unbelievable expression appeared on her face.
“Did you just leave to bring this?”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his thin lips tightly, and a mocking expression appeared on his face. “What did you think I was going to do?”
