Chapter 789 - Shameless Vixen
Chapter 789: Shameless Vixen
Hearing the noise outside the door, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other silently. They had a bad premonition.
Su Wan frowned. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. Then, she heard the noise outside the door become even more ear-piercing.
“I’m the eldest daughter of the Siswell family. How dare you stop me? Are you tired of living?! Why can’t you let me in?!”
Obviously, it was Diya who had come.
Su Wan’s brows furrowed even deeper than before. A beautiful face and a pair of aggressive amber eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
This eldest daughter of a rich family was really difficult to deal with…
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s conflicted look, he silently stretched out his hand and placed his broad palm on Su Wan’s hand.
His palm was slightly warm, as if he wanted to convey a kind of conviction to Su Wan.
Unswerving determination.
“With me here, Wan Wan, you don’t have to be afraid of her.”
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s serious side profile. It was as if someone had dropped a stone in her heart, causing thousands of ripples.
“I’m not afraid of her…”
Su Wan held back Jiang Xuecheng’s hand, but the worry between her brows still did not relax.
She was not afraid of Diya causing trouble, nor was she afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would change its mind. This was because Su Wan firmly believed that Jiang Xuecheng would always stand on her side and would not abandon her.
However, what Su Wan was afraid of was that Diya would work together with the high priest to break them up. When that time came, what would she and Jiang Xuecheng do?
Su Wan had stayed in the God’s Palace for a period of time. She more or less understood that Jiang Xuecheng was actually half an empty shell. The real power most likely fall in the hands of the High Priest.
As soon as Su Wan thought of that woman, the High Priest, her heart would shudder.
It was clearly a face that resembled Xu Ziyao, but there was a tear mole at the corner of her right eye. However, it was a bit more cruel as nobility!
The high priest did not like her at all. She did not even treat her and her child as human beings!
At that time, the only person who could have tampered with the DNA test was the high priest!
As long as she thought about what happened that day, Su Wan could not stop the bitterness in her heart.
Both she and Jiang Xuecheng had wronged their child.
Sometimes, Su Wan hoped that Jiang Xuecheng would remember the past, but she also hoped that Jiang Xuecheng would not remember those things. The two of them were doing very well now.
Because those sins were too grave, Su Wan was even afraid that the day Jiang Xuecheng found out the truth, the sadness in his heart would not be less than hers.
Once upon a time, this man had been with her, thinking about their future together.
Jiang Xuecheng said that he would like a daughter, and she would like a son. It was best if she could have both.
She would rather bear these sins alone.
This kind of pain was too unbearable. It was enough for her to suffer alone. She did not want Jiang Xuecheng to bear this shadow.
In this world, the person she had let down the most was her child.
I’m sorry, baby. It’s mom who did not protect you well…
When she thought about the loss of her child, everything seemed to be still vivid in her mind.
The cold and piercing lights of the operating theater, the doctors who wore masks and had no emotion in their eyes, and the blood-red flower blooming on her belly…
Recalling the past, Su Wan’s eyes could not help but reveal a pained expression.
She reached out and tugged at Jiang Xuecheng’s sleeve, her voice lowered.
“Xuecheng.”
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan’s slightly pale face and suddenly felt a little heartache.
Su Wan shook her head. She forced a weak smile.
She just wanted to call out Jiang Xuecheng’s name. She had no other thoughts.
It was as if calling out the name of Jiang Xuecheng would make her feel at ease upon hearing his response.
That’s right. As long as this man stood side by side with her, as long as the two of them were still standing together, Su Wan felt that there might still be hope. The two of them would be able to leave this godforsaken place sooner or later.
As for that mysterious high priest, Su Wan swore that one day, she would bring Jiang Xuecheng away from the control of the God’s Palace!
She wanted to go home. Wherever Jiang Xuecheng was, it would be her home.
However, Su Wan wanted to bring Jiang Xuecheng back to Earth. That was their real home.
There were their most intimate family members, memories of their lives growing up, and friends that they could not part with.
Unlike this place, which was strange, cold, and full of cruelty.
No matter how gorgeous the furnishings and advanced technology were, it was still like a golden bird cage, not suitable for human life.
When Su Wan thought of this, the look on her face slowly became firm.
Even Ming Ye said that if she wanted to go back, she had to get information from the high priest.
Su Wan felt that she could investigate the matter bit by bit. She had the patience to convince Jiang Xuecheng to go with her. The rest was just a matter of time!
…
Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan had been lost in her thoughts, so he mistakenly thought that she was worried that Diya would come and cause trouble.
He squeezed Su Wan’s hand, his voice clear and deep.
“Wan Wan, do you still remember what I said last night? You don’t have to talk about the scorpion. I will convince Diya to stop this farce on her own initiative.”
Who did he want to marry? Why was it up to others?!
His marriage could only be controlled by himself. No one could force him to marry someone he did not love!
“Wan Wan, let’s go out. We’ll have to face what we need to face sooner or later.”
Hearing that, Su Wan nodded lightly at Jiang Xuecheng and replied softly, “okay.”
When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan’s expression had calmed down, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xuecheng brought Su Wan outside,
Su Wan reluctantly looked back at Nono, who was covered in rust, and silently made a wish in her heart.
–Nono, I will definitely come back to see you in a while. You have to get better as soon as possible.
Su Wan had long decided that if she could go back, she would definitely bring Nono back with her.
Nono was also an indispensable member of her family.
…
Outside the door, there were still Diya’s exasperated shouts and the doorman’s helpless pleas for mercy.
“Miss Diya, please don’t make things difficult for us…”
“You won’t let me in, right?! Good, very good, I will get my brother to come over…”
Su Wan was separated by a door. When she heard that Diya wanted to find Fiennes, she could not help but be a little speechless.
In her eyes, Diya was more like a spoiled child.
She had probably been pampered since she was young, and there was nothing that she could not get. That was why she was especially entangled with Jiang Xuecheng.
Just as Diya and the guards were arguing endlessly, the door was suddenly opened.
Diya heard the sound of the door opening and looked in front of her with great joy.
She saw the figures of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan in front of her. The man was tall and the woman was delicate and lovely, like a pair of lovers.
“Your Highness–”
Diya’s eyes were stung by this scene. Her initially happy expression had turned into one full of grievance.
She was the legitimate fiancée of His Highness. In a few days, the high priest would fly back to preside over the engagement ceremony for the two of them.
Su Wan, this shameless vixen… Why was she standing next to His Highness?!
