Chapter 830: The Type That Su Wan Hated The Most

Jiang Xuecheng gritted his teeth and looked at Su Wan. He had obviously been looking for Su Wan for a long time. His usually calm expression was now somewhat exasperated.

“Do you know how worried I was when I couldn’t find you even after searching for a few rounds?”

Su Wan listened to Jiang Xuecheng’s words in a daze and looked at his handsome face. For some reason, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She understood Jiang Xuecheng’s panic.

She knew everything.

However, Jiang Xuecheng thought that she was still in the dark.

The cold water dripped down her cheeks and seeped into her clothes. Su Wan felt a chill in her heart.

However, she did not regain her senses much. Instead, she felt that her heart was extremely heavy.

“Xuecheng, I just had a stomachache, so I stayed in the bathroom for a while. I was in a hurry. You can’t blame me for everything, right?”

Su Wan walked toward Xuecheng in confusion. The water droplets dripping into her dress looked like ice cubes that had just been fished out from the refrigerator, and it was so cold that she was shivering.

Xuecheng looked at Su Wan suspiciously. He had a feeling that there was something wrong with Su Wan’s expression.

To be more precise, it was very ugly.

Xuecheng walked toward Su Wan. He reached out to hold Su Wan’s arm and scolded her in a low voice.

“If something like this happens again, remember to find someone to inform me in advance, okay?”

She would never know how worried Jiang Xuecheng had been about her ever since she had been infected with that insidious virus.

He was afraid that something would happen to Su Wan all of a sudden.

He wished that he could stay by her side or find someone to keep an eye on her at all times.

Jiang Xuecheng knew that this was a kind of morbid emotion, but he could not stop it no matter what.

“Okay, okay, I know you’re worried about me, but there’s no need to treat me like a child. You’re worried that I’m gone, right?”

Su Wan forced a smile at Jiang Xuecheng and pretended like nothing had happened.

“Also, this is the ladies’ room. Although we’re at the sink, it’s not good for you to stand here, is it?”

As Su Wan said this, she patted on Jiang Xuecheng’s clothes.

Her deliberately intimate action made Jiang Xuecheng keenly sense that something was wrong.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw the water droplets on Su Wan’s face, he initially thought that Su Wan had splashed her face with tap water. Now, he carefully looked at the slightly red corner of Su Wan’s eyes…

She seemed to have… cried?!

Why was she crying?!

Jiang Xuecheng frowned. He stared into Su Wan’s eyes and raised his voice by a few decibels.

“You’re crying?!”

Jiang Xuecheng suddenly remembered something.

When he was negotiating with the high priest earlier, it seemed that the high priest’s cat had been staring outside the glass wall.

At that time, they had even gone out to check, but they did not find a single person.

Now that they thought about Su Wan’s strange expression, could it be that someone had been eavesdropping outside?!

Jiang Xuecheng’s heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Su Wan’s shoulder forcefully and unconsciously increased the strength of his fingers.

If there really was someone, could it have been Su Wan?!

Su Wan did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng’s eyesight was so sharp. In fact, she really did not want to cry. How did she become like this?

Sensitive, fragile, and suspicious.

She happened to be the type of personality that Su Wan hated the most in the past.

She did not want Jiang Xuecheng to see her fragile side. She did not want him to see her at all.

Therefore, Su Wan tried her best to smile. She glared at Jiang Xuecheng. Her beautiful face had a pouting look, as if she was acting coquettishly towards Jiang Xuecheng.

“Why would I cry all of a sudden? And cry alone in the bathroom at that. I wasn’t being bullied.”

This time, Su Wan acted quite naturally. Her smile was faint, and two shallow dimples were faintly discernible on her cheeks.

“Is that so?”

Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan with a dubious look.

“Please, why would I lie to you about something like this?”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, the big stone in his heart finally slowly fell to the ground. However, there was still a faint sense of unease in his heart.

Even if they did not have a cure for CHK Virus No.3 for the time being, they were not waiting for death!

According to the prescription given by the high priest and Doctor Li’s hint, he was already trying to find a way to delay the onset of Su Wan’s virus.

Before the virus destroyed Su Wan’s body, Jiang Xuecheng firmly believed that he would be able to find a cure.

He did not want Su Wan to know so much. If Su Wan knew about it, it would be of no benefit to her condition. It would make Su Wan think more and more, and she might even fall into depression!

According to the high priest and Doctor Li, CHK Virus No.3 was actually a slow-acting drug that would not cause death in a short period of time.

And those small animals that were infected with CHK Virus No.3 often did not die because their body functions completely failed, but because they could not withstand the suffering of the virus and committed suicide!

How could he watch helplessly as Su Wan fell into depression and panic, and even self-harm because of this?

Jiang Xuecheng’s heart was heavy as if it had been filled with lead. He grabbed Su Wan’s shoulder with great strength.

Su Wan understood Jiang Xuecheng’s thoughts the best. When she saw Jiang Xuecheng’s expression, she immediately understood that Jiang Xuecheng was probably worried about her.

Su Wan felt uncomfortable, but she pretended to be ignorant on the surface. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng and slapped away the hand that Jiang Xuecheng had placed on her shoulder.

“Xuecheng, you’re hurting me, don’t you know?”

Jiang Xuecheng suddenly came back to his senses.

He looked at Su Wan’s shoulder apologetically and realized that he had scratched a red mark on her shoulder.

“Does it hurt?”

Su Wan giggled and shook her head at Jiang Xuecheng.

“Actually, it doesn’t hurt much. Alright, don’t you think it’s weird for the two of us to chat at the sink? Let’s go out first.”

Jiang Xuecheng nodded and walked out with Su Wan.

Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand tightly throughout the entire journey. She was terrified, but she could not say anything.

Having Jiang Xuecheng by her side made her feel a sense of security.

Since Jiang Xuecheng did not want her to know, then she would pretend that she did not know anything. Perhaps it would make him feel better.

…

After returning to the banquet hall, Su Wan realized that everyone had left in twos and threes. Most of them had left.

Su Wan raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the banquet had come to an abrupt end?!

Su Wan shook Jiang Xuecheng’s arm and asked in surprise.

“In such a short time, why are there no people left?”

“Have you forgotten what the original theme of today was? With Diya and Fiennes gone, the high priest simply could not be bothered to organize this banquet anymore. Let them go and see the flowers.”

Su Wan burst into laughter when she heard that. So, the blame was still on her and Jiang Xuecheng?

However, Su Wan couldn’t smile anymore when she smiled.

She thought of an extremely important matter.

Su Wan’s heart trembled. She grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s arm with a sincere expression.

“Jiang Xuecheng, did you agree to some conditions with the high priest when you went out for a discussion just now?”
