Chapter 698: If You Let Me Go
The knuckles of Jiang Xuecheng’s fingers were distinct. When he gently caressed her lips, it felt a little cold.
Su Wan closed her eyes and finally mustered up the courage to say those words from the bottom of her heart.
“If we continue like this, we will only hurt each other. If you let me go, you will also let yourself go.”
Su Wan’s voice was very soft, but there was a deep despair in it.
Like a person whose heart had been hollowed out, or like a moth that had been dyed into ashes by fireworks, there was no longer any hope.
When he heard Su Wan’s words, Jiang Xuecheng’s body suddenly trembled. He quieted down and moved his fingers away from Su Wan’s lips.
Such beautiful lips, but why were the words that came out always feel so cold?!
The man’s eyes dimmed. He lowered his head and approached Su Wan without any warning.
The two of them were very close to each other, and Su Wan was shocked. She thought that he was going to kiss her again with unquestionable strength.
However, he didn’t.
He reached out and grabbed Su Wan’s chin.
His movements were unexpectedly gentle, and it even gave people the illusion that they were being doted on.
Jiang Xuecheng’s other hand wrapped around Su Wan’s back, making it impossible for her to struggle. Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips into a straight line, and then gently stroked Su Wan’s eyebrows with his hand.
A curtain of rain covered the entire God’s Palace, and bean-sized raindrops fell to the ground.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, a low and deep voice was heard. It was a low roar filled with anger.
“I won’t allow it. Su Wan, I won’t allow it.”
This woman had directly and valiantly occupied all of his life since she entered his life. No matter where she was, no matter what she did, he would always think of her tears, her smile, her voice…
They had only known each other for such a short period of time, but he was thinking about her in his heart. He could not forget her no matter how hard he tried.
When Su Wan heard him say this, her eyes focused and slowly swept across Jiang Xuecheng’s thin lips.
It was said that a man with thin lips would naturally be cold and thin, even ruthless. In fact, she knew that Jiang Xuecheng was not like that.
He was a very, very good man, and he was also very infatuated.
However, the two of them were no longer suitable for each other.
The dead child had become a thorn in their hearts, and they could not overcome it no matter what.
He did not trust her, and she was also afraid of him.
Thinking of the baby who had died young, Su Wan’s eyes turned slightly red. She looked steadily at Jiang Xuecheng and shook her head very slowly and firmly.
Although she didn’t say anything else, Jiang Xuecheng already understood what she meant.
The emperor suddenly reached out and held Su Wan in his arms. Their bodies were close to each other. Su Wan could even hear the heartbeat of Jiang Xuecheng and herself.
It was light and heavy, overlapping with each other.
“Wan Wan, can we start over? Let’s pretend that we just met now. I know you like children. We will have many, many children in the future…”
Perhaps it was because he was thinking about the future, the man’s handsome eyes suddenly flew up. It was as if a sky full of starlight had fallen into his eyes. He looked very moving.
Su Wan’s eyelashes fluttered twice. When she heard Jiang Xuecheng mention the child, the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back and burst out.
One drop after another slid down her pale face.
“But Your Highness, you said to pretend. It’s fake. We met a long time ago, didn’t we?”
From the moment the child was removed from her body, she understood that some things could not go back to the past.
How could the pain of her body being torn apart compare to the pain of losing a child?
Numbness, even despair.
Even if one day, Jiang Xuecheng remembered that it was the two of them who had killed the child, his grief would definitely not be any less than hers.
Su Wan did not wish for Jiang Xuecheng to bear such pain one day. She already did not wish for Jiang Xuecheng to know about the past. She would be fine as long as she was in pain alone.
Otherwise, would this man also go crazy?
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and took in Su Wan’s dejected face. The man was silent for a moment, and his originally cheerful face suddenly froze.
His breathing was slightly stifled, and his fingers kept turning white due to the tightening of his fingers.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out to wipe the tears on Su Wan’s face. His voice seemed to be suppressing something, but it was also very determined.
“Wan Wan, don’t be afraid. Those things have already passed. Everything will be fine.”
Su Wan bit her lower lip hard, and her eyes gradually became red and hot.
Some things had indeed passed, but some things could never be over…
Therefore, in the face of Jiang Xuecheng’s words, she could only shake her head.
Because of Su Wan’s resistance, Jiang Xuecheng’s face was gloomy. However, he did not do anything to Su Wan. Instead, he directly picked her up with one hand and held the umbrella with the other hand.
Although he only carried Su Wan with one hand, Jiang Xuecheng’s steps were firm and powerful. He walked step by step in the rain as if he was on a grand date.
Su Wan did not have the strength to confront him anymore. She reached out and hooked her arm around Jiang Xuecheng’s neck. She buried her head in Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder and sucked his clear and pleasant breath bit by bit.
Even if she was selfish, weak, and cold.
Xuecheng, I’m leaving.
I hope you can have a better life when I’m not here…
The two of them were very close to each other. They were clearly very close, but their hearts were far apart.
A faint tear stain appeared at the corner of Su Wan’s eyes. Her beautiful face was full of sleepiness. Finally, she leaned on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder and fell asleep.
…
Because both of them had been soaked in too much rain, Jiang Xuecheng decided to take Su Wan to take a bath and change into clean and comfortable clothes first.
They were supposed to go to the hot spring area, which was the pool that Su Wan had soaked in before. It was half open and half closed, so it attracted the best hot spring water.
However, Su Wan had just had a baby. According to the doctor’s instructions, whether it was a woman who was just pregnant or a woman who had just had a baby, it was not suitable to soak in the hot spring. Otherwise, it would cause damage to the body.
Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan to an ordinary indoor bath. Although it was not hot spring water, the scale was luxurious enough. It occupied an area as big as a room.
He helped Su Wan and himself find suitable clothes, and then put the unconscious Su Wan by the pool.
Su Wan was unconscious. He frowned and began to undress Su Wan.
Su Wan was wearing a cotton dress today. It was not a zipper-like structure, but had many buttons. It was very cumbersome to undo.
However, Jiang Xuecheng was patient. His movements were gentle and meticulous.
After a while, the cotton dress fell from Su Wan’s waist, revealing Su Wan’s jade-like body.
When he saw Su Wan’s unguarded sleeping face, Jiang Xuecheng’s throat moved slightly.
She was like a flower blooming on a branch. She was beautiful without knowing it, but it made people want to take her for themselves.
In fact, he had always wanted her, but after such a thing happened, he no longer wanted to threaten Su Wan.
He thought about it and finally suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. He used the shower gel to slowly apply it on Su Wan’s body.
But suddenly, Su Wan opened her eyes.
Suddenly, their eyes met, and Su Wan’s scream suddenly rang out in the room!
