Chapter 797 Involving Su Wan’s Life
When Manager Fan mentioned Su Wan, the young man who was smoking suddenly raised his eyes.
"Need not!"
Jiang Xuecheng coughed and added quickly.
"Don't let her come!"
Although Jiang Xuecheng's voice was hoarse, his tone was very decisive. Manager Fan was stunned when he heard this, and felt increasingly uneasy.
——His Highness actually doesn’t even want to see Miss Su. What could have caused the high priest and His Highness to have such a quarrel? !
Manager Fan didn't dare to think about it further. He even began to assume that the injuries on the high priest's body were scratched by the Persian cat.
If you think too much, you will make many mistakes. In order not to harm yourself, it is better to think less.
Manager Fan didn't know that Jiang Xuecheng suddenly didn't dare to see Su Wan after being told by the high priest that Su Wan had been poisoned with that kind of poison.
He has never been so weak as he is now, and he even wants to rely on nicotine to ease the heaviness in his heart.
According to the high priest, CHK No. 3 poison only has an incubation period of one and a half months, which means that Su Wan will soon feel the abnormal changes in his body.
What will she do then? !
Those little animals were paralyzed and limp, and even mutilated themselves because they couldn't bear the pain of the poison. Did he want him to watch Su Wan do the same?
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his lips unconsciously and took another puff of the cigarette in his hand persistently.
It's still a taste that I can't get used to, pungent, astringent, and bitter to my heart.
Jiang Xuecheng had never understood before why people could rely on nicotine to numb themselves? !
When he looked at the bright and dim sparks in his hand, he still had no answer in his heart.
The will is still awake and the facts cannot be changed.
So Jiang Xuecheng lit another cigarette. On the crystal plate not far away was the cigarette butt that had just been left, with sparks still burning.
Manager Fan felt very depressed when he saw Jiang Xuecheng's appearance.
It seemed that what was filled in the air was not the strong smell of tobacco, but the sadness that could not be concealed.
Manager Fan thought about the recent events and suddenly found the closest answer.
Could it be that the high priest had figured out something important about the emperor's son and forced him to marry Miss Tiya from the Siswell family? !
It probably depends on the situation...
Manager Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he never expected that this newly promoted emperor would be so infatuated.
After all, most children from rich families cannot be independent in their marriages. Basically, the one on the marriage certificate is kept at home, and you may not know who else you have married outside.
Manager Fan has seen many situations like this, regardless of men or women.
When Manager Fan saw Jiang Xuecheng's desperate figure, he felt that the smell of tobacco in the room was unbearable.
If this continues, it will be really bad for people’s health!
Manager Fan frowned, knowing that his persuasion would probably not work, so he walked towards the window not far away.
First open the gauze curtains, and then push the windows outward to let the cool breeze from outside slowly come in.
The smell of smoke finally dissipated a little.
After doing this, Manager Fan nodded to Jiang Xuecheng, with some concern in his voice.
"Your Highness, although I don't know what happened to you, you still have to be open-minded about things like marriage. I think Miss Su will definitely understand you if she is reasonable."
After speaking, Manager Fan slowly exited the study room and closed the door properly.
…
Jiang Xuecheng was once again alone in the empty study.
Jiang Xuecheng took a puff of cigarette again.
He actually didn't like the taste.
He stood up and walked towards the open window next to him. Outside was a clear blue sky, and the fresh flowers and plants carried their fragrance through the wind.
A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Xuecheng's face. He finally lowered his head and extinguished the flickering sparks on the cigarette butt.
——No matter what, nicotine cannot anesthetize his will.
What needs to be faced still needs to be faced.
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly wanted to take the initiative to find Su Wan.
He wanted to see her.
And...there are still very important things waiting for you to do.
…
At this time, Su Wan was reading in the room. On the table was an introductory book on Interstellar Common Language.
Su Wan's interstellar lingua franca was not good enough. It was enough for daily communication, but she might not be able to understand slightly more abstruse vocabulary.
When Su Wan saw the complicated words above, her head was in chaos, and she actually had the urge to sleep.
Su Wan stretched and couldn't help but yawn.
At this moment, Su Wan heard the lock cylinder click, and the sound of opening the door came from not far away.
Su Wan turned her head and saw Jiang Xuecheng's face as expected.
"Snow City..."
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, but within a second, Su Wan realized something was wrong.
A strange and strong smell of tobacco came.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
I saw a man not far away wearing an elegant custom-made shirt, but there were many wrinkles on the clothes. Looking up, it was Jiang Xuecheng's face.
He still had the handsome and profound facial features of the past, but there was no color, and there seemed to be a strange feeling between his eyebrows.
Su Wan felt strange when he saw her.
What's wrong?
Su Wan quickly put down the information book in her hand and ran towards Jiang Xuecheng. When she got closer to Jiang Xuecheng, she realized that the smell of tobacco on Jiang Xuecheng was stronger.
It's not like it's caused by second-hand smoke, it's more like...
"You smoke?"
Su Wan grabbed Jiang Xuecheng's hand in surprise, only to find that his palm was cold.
Su Wan has been married to Jiang Xuecheng for so long, so she certainly knows that Jiang Xuecheng does not smoke. To be precise, it seems that the men in the Jiang family do not smoke. It may be due to family habits and they pay more attention to physical health.
Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He looked at Su Wan's concerned face, and a certain corner of his heart ached.
He knew that his current appearance must have frightened Su Wan, so he quickly calmed down and pretended to smile casually.
"Well, I've never smoked before, so I wanted to try it on a whim."
Seeing Su Wan frowning, Jiang Xuecheng quickly explained a little more.
"But don't worry, I don't have any feelings about tobacco. It's just because it's fresh this time. I won't touch it again in the future."
Like Su Wan, he didn't like people who smelled like tobacco.
Su Wan buried her head on Jiang Xuecheng's shoulder. Through the black shirt, Su Wan could hear Jiang Xuecheng's heartbeat, one after another.
Su Wan's heart calmed down inexplicably.
"That's good. Smoking is really bad for your health."
Su Wan raised her face and looked at Jiang Xuecheng's face. She saw that there were red bloodshot eyes in his eyes and he looked slightly tired.
"I heard that the high priest is back. Did she force you to marry Tiya, and then you were in trouble?"
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Su Wan's words, it became a little difficult to breathe.
If he were just forced to marry Tiya, he wouldn't be in such pain because he knew he wouldn't agree.
But if Su Wan's life was implicated, Jiang Xuecheng really didn't know what he would do...
