Jiang Xuecheng carried Su Wan and went straight into the elevator. Su Wan curled up in his embrace and she could hear his strong heartbeat.
Both their postures were intimate. Su Wan bit her lips and couldnât help looking up at his face so near her.
The light in the elevator was not very bright but it lit up Jiang Xuechengâs firm and handsome face. His clean breath hovered in Su Wanâs nostrils and her breathing increased.
The flame in her which had been contained for a long time had as if been ignited once more and it sprang to her limbs and bones.
Her heart kept thumping and Su Wan tilted her head sideways unnaturally. She didnât dare look at Jiang Xuechengâs face, afraid that she would let out some strange noise.
Although Su Wan didnât say anything, from her little gestures, Jiang Xuecheng knew the drug had taken effect.
Jiang Xuechengâs deep eyes landed on Su Wan with a trace of imperceptible heartache.
âWan Wan, just hold on a little longer. If you really canât, letâs take a room here?â
In a blurry state, Su Wan had as if understood what Jiang Xuecheng meant. She moved as if being struck by the electric current and shook her head vigorously.
âNo, not here, I want to go home.â
Anzhi Tinglan Hotel had topped Su Wanâs blacklist from then on. She would never come to this place in the future.
Before Su Wanâs voice died down, Jiang Xuecheng could feel her strong abhorrence.
Just then, a sharp ding was heard and the elevator door opened.
Jiang Xuecheng carried Su Wan out of the elevator toward the entrance.
Su Wan suddenly saw the bright lights outside and felt frightened. She leaned her head against Jiang Xuechengâs embrace.
âXuecheng, I feel terrible, really terrible,â she murmured.
Su Wan choked on her voice like a little kitten and then her hand slid down uncontrollably on his shoulder and back.
She was so close to Jiang Xuecheng and had long relaxed. Even the last bit of her rationality was almost gone.
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. When he looked at Su Wan now, wasnât it testing his self-control?
Moreover, Su Wan was rubbing him all over. He looked calm now but was actually controlling hard...
That moment, the people in the lobby were still around. Sheng Anâning and Jiang Haoxuan saw Jiang Xuecheng walking out of the elevator with a woman in his arms. She knew the answer immediately.
Su Wan was covered in a blanket, revealing only her head, leaving space for oneâs imagination.
Sheng Anâning could not see Su Wanâs entire face but when she saw Jiang Xuechengâs cold look and carrying Su Wan lovingly, she guessed things had not turned out the way she wished.
Su Wan was really lucky!
Sheng Anâning gnashed her teeth. If she had known that Gu Zihang was useless, she should have found several beggars instead. Those people wouldnât have a tender heart for Su Wan!
Jiang Haoxuan was passing a piece of tissue paper to Sheng Anâning. When he saw the fierceness in her eyes, he was terrified.
âWhatâs wrong, Anâning?â
Sheng Anâningâs body shook and regained her senses. She took the tissue from Jiang Haoxuan and smiled weakly.
âItâs all my fault today. Iâm relieved to see that Sis-in-Law is alright.â
Jiang Haoxuan was taken aback for a moment. Instantly, he thought he was mistaken. How could the pure, kind, and innocent Sheng Anâning be so fierce?
When Jiang Xuecheng had gone to look for Su Wan just now, Sheng Anâning had explained everything to Jiang Haoxuan.
âYouâre too naïve. If it wasnât for your sympathy for Gu Zihang, you would not have asked Sis-in-Law out on his behalf to give him an opportunity to apologize to Sis-in-Law. Who would have thought that heâd do such things? Youâve only done something wrong with good intentions. It isnât your fault.â
Hearing Jiang Haoxuanâs consoling words, a little trance appeared in Sheng Anâningâs beautiful eyes. When she was about to say something more, she saw Jiang Xuecheng walking toward her.
Sheng Anâning was shocked. She stood up immediately and showed a bitter smile and a regretful look.
âBrother Xuecheng, is Sis-in-Law alright? I...â
Before waiting for Sheng Anâning to finish her sentence, Jiang Xuechengâs lips were pursed into a straight line. He darted a side glance coldly at Sheng Anâning and his deep voice had a frightening murderous intention.
âYouâd better behave yourself. Otherwise, donât blame me for being ruthless.â
Sheng Anâningâs smile slacked. She staggered and almost fell backward. Luckily, Jiang Haoxuan was alert enough to catch her in time.
Jiang Haoxuan wanted to explain for Sheng Anâning but seeing Jiang Xuechengâs dark face and Su Wan who was wrapped in the blanket, he shut his mouth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Xuecheng, on the other hand, didnât want to bother about them. He walked out of the crowd directly. Ah Si had asked someone to drive his car over and when the bodyguard saw them coming out, he opened the car door immediately.
Jiang Xuecheng placed Su Wan carefully on the co-driverâs seat and after buckling up for her, he stepped on the accelerator and sped home at the fastest speed he could.
Su Wan was drowsy. The minute she parted from Jiang Xuecheng, she felt she was like a person dying of thirst leaving the water source. She reluctantly grasped the cushion and could only open her eyes in perplexity.
âXuecheng, I feel hot. I feel terrible.â
Jiang Xuecheng tilted his head to look at Su Wan. He felt she was about to break away from her seat belt and jump straight at him.
Jiang Xuechengâs heart was chaotic at that moment. He was angry at Sheng Anâning for giving Su Wan such a heavy dosage of the drug but his heartache toward Su Wanâs current state took the wheel.
Jiang Xuecheng switched on the AC and adjusted the temperature to the lowest possible, trying to make Su Wan feel more comfortable.
Su Wan blinked and her eyes were watery. It seemed to her that the AC was far from adequate to resist the heat in her heart. She tugged at her seat belt as if trying to struggle out of her bondage.
âWan Wan, donât move!â
Jiang Xuecheng was frightened by Su Wanâs action. Luckily, Su Wan was not conscious enough and after pulling for a long time, she couldnât find the correct way to unbuckle her seat belt.
Jiang Xuecheng was afraid Su Wan would do something right here. So, with lightning speed, he drove back to Fontainebleau and didnât care that he was speeding.
He parked his car as fast as he could and unfastened Su Wanâs seat belt. Su Wan kept rubbing uncomfortably and when Jiang Xuecheng carried her, she hung on him like a koala bear.
This was the first time Jiang Xuecheng had seen Su Wan in such a passionate state. He knew it was the drug effect. There was still a lingering fear in his heart when he thought of todayâs incident.
On the other hand, Su Wan didnât care much. When she smelt the familiar clean breath, she felt like a person who had been in a drought for a long time, finally finding a spring.
She impatiently climbed up to Jiang Xuechengâs neck and pressed her lips down...
