Chapter 574: She Was Stunned
A gust of cold wind blew over, causing Su Wan to shiver. Her exposed skin immediately had goosebumps.
However, it was also because of this gust of cold wind that the sleepiness in Su Wan’s heart immediately dissipated. She fixed her gaze outside the screen.
She was completely stunned!
Su Wan fixed her gaze on the figure not far away. Her eyes widened in disbelief!
She was afraid that someone would break in, so she locked the door behind her. How on earth did Jiang Xuecheng get in?!
It was broad daylight, and she felt inexplicably ashamed.
Su Wan took a slight breath. She tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, and her whole body kept sinking into the water.
Su Wan covered herself tightly under the hot spring, only revealing a small head.
Seeing that Su Wan seemed to be greatly frightened and was desperately trying to sink into the water, the face of the man not far away suddenly turned dark.
He quickly walked over and looked down at Su Wan from a high vantage point. He had a clear view of the underwater.
The fog was dense. Su Wan was wearing a white bath towel. Her slender ankles reflected the sparkling light, like a kind of silent bewitchment.
Under such circumstances, she appeared to be half-hidden and half-shy.
Seeing this scene, the emperor was slightly dazzled, and his breathing suddenly became a little heavy.
He felt that a certain part of his body had become a little strange, making him feel that his entire body was out of control, and his brain was slightly numb.
It was as if the excitement from the depths of his soul couldn’t help but resonate.
The emperor’s expression turned cold. He silently turned his body to the side, and his fingernails dug into his palm.
The sharp pain finally made the man regain his rationality.
If he didn’t use this method, he really couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t do anything to Su Wan.
“Your Highness, why are you here all of a sudden?”
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip and couldn’t feel the slightest bit of satisfaction.
Being stared at by those burning eyes, with her back leaning against the slightly hot stone wall, Su Wan’s face suddenly burned up like fire.
This kind of gaze was too familiar.
It was like a wolf that had found its prey, wanting to bite off its throat in one bite, and then completely tear it apart and eat it into its stomach.
Although the fatigue in her body had been relieved after soaking in the hot spring, at this moment, Su Wan was trembling with fear.
Su Wan’s trembling voice echoed in his ears, causing the emperor to suddenly lose his interest.
He did not like Su Wan’s way of speaking.
The man averted his eyes and shifted his gaze away from Su Wan to the steaming hot spring. Only then did he not lose his composure.
“You’ve been soaking in the hot spring for a long time. It’s time for you to get up. It’s not good to soak in the hot spring for too long.”
His deep voice was neither cold nor sarcastic.
Even the man himself did not realize that this was the first time he had spoken so gently to Su Wan.
There was even a hint of undisguised concern.
Su Wan raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xuecheng who was standing by the side of the Bath. She gritted her teeth and almost forced out a sentence from between her teeth.
“Your Highness, can you go out first? I need to change my clothes.”
“You come out from inside first.”
The man only replied without answering the question.
Su Wan frowned slightly. She suppressed the shame in her heart and slowly supported herself against the rock wall. She slowly floated out of the hot spring.
Steam rose and white mist surrounded Su Wan’s body. Her wet hair, which was soaked with water, hung on the towel and stopped between her beautiful collarbones.
Su Wan’s face was clean and beautiful. Although she did not wear any makeup, she looked very charming at this moment.
The man’s eyes darkened. He suddenly felt a little jealous of that hair. He was jealous that it stayed in such an excellent position.
Being stared at by Jiang Xuecheng with that kind of straight gaze, Su Wan felt goosebumps all over her body. She felt particularly uncomfortable.
She climbed onto the rock wall next to her and was about to get out of the pool. She did not know whether it was because she had soaked in the pool for too long or something else, but she actually felt that her feet were a little numb.
Oh no…
Su Wan’s heart thumped again and she cried out in her heart.
“Why aren’t you coming up?”
Seeing that Su Wan was standing in an awkward position, the emperor’s eyes were cold as he looked down at her.
Su Wan opened her mouth and paused for a moment in embarrassment. In the end, she revealed her current predicament.
“My feet are numb.”
The emperor froze when he heard this, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.
That pair of clear and cold eyes seemed to suddenly come alive because of this smile that was almost imperceptible.
It was as if the spring water had just been born, the spring forest had just bloomed, and the river water that had been frozen for a long time had suddenly broken through the ice and started singing a happy song.
It was as if this was the first time she had seen Jiang Xuecheng smile after coming here.
Su Wan looked at him thoughtfully, and her eyes did not seem to have become distant.
It was this kind of gaze again…
It was as if she was missing someone through him.
The feeling of being used as a substitute made the emperor extremely unhappy. The smile on his lips faded, and he stared at Su Wan indifferently and gloomily.
“Get up yourself.”
Su Wan was stunned. This man turned hostile faster than flipping through a book!
He was fine just a moment ago, but now he had an icy expression as if everyone owed him five million dollars?
Su Wan was secretly unhappy. She had thought that he would help her up when she saw Jiang Xuecheng smile just now, but in the end, she had thought too much!
Su Wan reached out and rubbed her ankles, trying to ease the numbness.
After confirming that it was about time, Su Wan held onto the rock wall again and climbed up with great effort.
Although it was not an elegant sight, at least she climbed up!
Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly heard a slight tearing sound.
Her whole body trembled and she did not dare to move!
Su Wan turned her head slightly and saw that her towel had gotten caught on the low bushes beside her…
God, she was so unlucky. It was simply a bad time!
Su Wan almost cried when she saw this scene. Why had she never encountered any good things ever since she met Jiang Xuecheng here.
She was either bullied by him or embarrassed again and again.
If her clothes that barely covered her body were torn by the tree branch, the scene would be too beautiful to even think about!
Su Wan gulped and reached out her trembling hand, trying to untie the part that was pulled by the tree branch.
At this moment, Su Wan suddenly felt a shadow enveloping her.
Su Wan felt as if she had been struck by an electric current. She could not care less about pulling the tree branch. She only held the towel tightly, afraid that her clothes would fall off.
As if noticing Su Wan’s guard, the man could not help but snort coldly.
However, he did not say anything. He just turned his body to the side and carefully untied the place where Su Wan was caught to the branch.
The two of them were very close to each other, and their breaths could be heard.
In a trance, Su Wan actually felt her heart beat a little faster.
“It’s done.”
A low and cold voice sounded, calling back Su Wan’s consciousness.
The afternoon sun was quiet and good. A pale golden light enveloped Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng’s bodies, as if they were kissing.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
