The unceasing bitterness between her lips and teeth immediately knocked down Su Wanâs rationality.
Su Wan moved the glass cup away from her mouth. She blinked her eyes and looked at Jiang Xuecheng pitifully. Her expression was like that of a pet begging its owner to stroke its fur.
âXuecheng, Iâm so hungry. Can I finish my meal first before drinking the medicine? Iâll heat up the medicine again later. It wonât affect the medicinal properties...â
Before Su Wan could finish her sentence, Xuecheng walked over and rejected her with his actions.
He snatched the Cup from Su Wanâs hand and brought it to her mouth. Then, he poured it down her mouth!
The medicine dripped into Su Wanâs mouth, causing her eyebrows to curl into a ball!
Su Wanâs expression changed when she was forcefully fed the medicine!
She could not accept such a simple and crude way of feeding the medicine. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and could not bear to see how much black-brown medicine was left in the glass bottle...
âItâs finished.â
Jiang Xue Chengâs calm voice sounded in her ears. Su Wan pursed her lips and opened her eyes.
Su Wan looked at the remaining brown-black residue at the bottom of the glass bottle. Her expression changed again and again. She took a few deep breaths before she finally recovered.
It was too bitter!
Su Wan frowned. She felt that her appetite had been tormented by this bottle of Chinese medicine.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan and reached out to pass a pickled plum.
Su Wan looked up at Jiang Xuecheng. Was this giving a slap and then a sweet date?
Su Wan was amused by the analogy that came out of her heart. What did this have to do with anything? She knew that Jiang Xuechengâs previous actions were for her own good. Although the method was a little direct, it was indeed the most effective.
The pickled plum entered her mouth. The sour and sweet taste gradually spread out, making Su Wan feel better.
âAnything else?â
Jiang Xuecheng stroked Su Wanâs hair and took out a plastic box containing the pickled plum like magic.
âWan Wan, you can eat two more, but donât eat too much. Iâll bring the bowl of muntjac meat over and start eating.â
Su Wan nodded and opened the plastic box containing the plum blossom. She then put two more into her mouth.
She didnât know if it was because the Chinese medicine from before was too bitter, but after comparing the two, the sweet and sour taste of the pickled plum instantly captured Su Wanâs heart!
If she hadnât thought that they were about to finish eating, Su Wan might have finished the entire bottle of pickled plums.
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Su Wan put down the bottle of pickled plums. She glanced at the wrapping paper on the plastic box and silently memorized the brand.
...
After dinner, Su Wan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. The culinary skills of Jiang Xuecheng were really to her liking. The braised muntjac meat just now was simply delicious!
Su Wan stood in front of the window sill and looked at the lights outside. The bustling scene made Su Wan absent-minded.
These days were too beautiful...
If it was a few months ago, when she was still in pain of being betrayed by her boyfriend and family, she would never have thought that her life would be like this now...
Because she had Jiang Xuecheng by her side, her state of mind must have changed, right?
Su Wan could not help but smile. She suddenly felt that the city at night was so beautiful.
âWhat are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?â
Suddenly, a pair of hands came from behind and wrapped around Su Wanâs waist.
Su Wan was startled and rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng. âWhy do I feel that you always walk without making a sound? You are simply unpredictable.â
âYou are thinking too seriously.â
Jiang Xuecheng retorted softly. The hand that was holding Su Wan tightened slightly. He lowered his head and rested it on Su Wanâs shoulder.
âYou still havenât told me why you were smiling so happily just now?â
Su Wanâs eyes darted around. She glanced at the handsome side of the manâs cheek and an indescribable warmth emerged in her heart.
The feeling was indescribable, but it was very stable and made Su Wan feel at ease.
If time stood still at this moment, she would be happy.
The smile on Su Wanâs lips deepened. She shifted her gaze back to the night view outside the window. âXuecheng, donât you think the night view is particularly beautiful tonight?â
As she spoke, Su Wan raised her arm and pointed out the window.
Xuecheng froze for a moment. He followed Su Wanâs finger and saw the same familiar scenery.
Xuecheng raised his eyebrows lightly. Then, he could not help but stretch out his hand and give Su Wanâs forehead a tap.
âIs there anything special about the night sky today? Moreover, the smog in S City has been getting worse recently. Look at the buildings in the distance, they are all hazy. Is this considered beautiful?â
Jiang Xuechengâs words really ruined the atmosphere. Su Wan was speechless for a while and did not bother to argue with him anymore.
Sometimes, the scenery did not change, but the mood of the viewer changed.
Jiang Xuecheng quietly hugged Su Wan and suddenly raised his head. His lips were close to Su Wanâs ear, and he breathed out a faint warm breath beside her ear, making Su Wan feel itchy.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Su Wan looked up at Jiang Xuecheng in surprise, but she suddenly felt Jiang Xuecheng hold her head.
âWan Wan, didnât you really want to have a child?â
Su Wanâs almond-shaped eyes widened. Before she could digest what Jiang Xuecheng had said, she noticed a pair of thin lips accurately covering her mouth.
A breath as cold as ice and snow slowly spread between Su Wanâs lips and teeth.
The sudden kiss brought Su Wan back to her senses, and her face instantly turned to the color of rouge.
The summer nightâs cool breeze poured in from the window. Not only did it not ease the heat on Su Wanâs skin, but it made her heart even more confused.
The moment Jiang Xuecheng let go of her, Su Wan took a few unsteady breaths.
However, before Su Wan could rest for a while, Jiang Xuechengâs hands started to mess around with her body.
Oh God!
Su Wan was so shocked by Jiang Xuechengâs urgency that her heart almost jumped out. She quickly reached out to hold onto Jiang Xuecheng and anxiously reminded him of the current situation.
âThe windows arenât even closed...â
If the neighbor across them happened to be looking at them, and they had binoculars, wouldnât that be embarrassing?!
Jiang Xuecheng chuckled. His voice, which was originally clear, was now a little hoarse, as if it was some kind of inexplicable bewitchment.
âOkay, then Iâll close the window first.â
When the window was closed, Jiang Xuecheng couldnât wait to wrap his arms around Su Wanâs waist. However, before he could kiss her, the phone on the table started to ring non-stop.
Su Wanâs ringtone had changed recently. It was Richard Claydermanâs piano tune.
Jiang Xuecheng had always liked this song, âBallade pour Adeline.â However, this situation made Jiang Xuecheng very angry.
Who liked to disturb peopleâs good moments so much?!
âIgnore it...â
A low male voice sounded from above. Su Wanâs face turned red, but she immediately pushed Jiang Xuecheng away. She ran to the table as if she was running away and picked up the phone.
The caller was Lin Feiâer.
Before Su Wan could speak, a lot of words were said over the phone. They were all about Jiang Haoxuan.
Lin Feiâerâs voice was very anxious. From such a distance, Su Wan could hear Lin Feiâerâs eagerness from the phone.
