Chapter 637: Be My Woman
In the dim light, the emperor stared into Su Wan’s eyes.
His heart ached terribly.
Jealousy was like a venomous snake, constantly gnawing at his flesh and blood.
When he heard the name that Su Wan was about to blurt out, the man’s hand movements suddenly froze.
Su Wan had always told him that he was the only person she admired. However, every time Su Wan was still in a daze, she always seemed to regard him as another man.
He had never left the God’s Palace, and he had never seen this woman before. Therefore, the person Su Wan was talking about must be another person.
Because of the sudden increase in Jiang Xuecheng’s movements, Su Wan suddenly let out a throbbing pain, awakening the man’s consciousness.
The emperor frowned. He lowered his head and saw that the wound that just had the pin taken out of already split open once again.
Blood dripped down Su Wan’s back, giving her a strange beauty.
“Are you okay?”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. He was not good at comforting people, and he had never understood how to make Su Wan feel better at a time like this.
Seeing Su Wan shake her head with much effort, her face that was already pale became even paler.
He stared at Su Wan deeply and finally said clumsily.
“Bear with it for a while. Remove two more and you’ll be fine.”
When Su Wan heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, she realized that there was a small plate on the table next to Jiang Xuecheng, and there were a few large pins in it.
Each nail was burning with blood, and it looked horrifying.
Su Wan stared at the nails for a few more times and imagined the hideous scene behind her. She could not help but shiver.
These things had just pierced into her skin and flesh?!
Perhaps the pain had softened Su Wan’s reason, so she removed her usual disguise. At this moment, she was like a well-behaved cat nestled in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms.
The reddened corners of her eyes made people want to pity her.
The man sighed and focused on treating Su Wan’s wound. First, he removed the pins one by one. Then, he skillfully sterilized Su Wan to stop the bleeding.
It was unknown what the medicine was made of. When it was applied on the skin, it quickly turned over the sharp pain, as if someone was grilling her on a fire.
Her limbs and bones were trembling.
Su Wan’s lips opened, but she did not know what to say. She could not let Jiang Xuecheng not apply the medicine, right?
Su Wan felt wronged, so she could only frown tightly and bite her lips hard, trying to ease the pain slightly.
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head, and his long and narrow eyes swept over Su Wan. Seeing that the little woman was so upset but still held back and did not say anything, his heart suddenly softened.
He applied the ointment carefully and even his movements became gentler.
After a long time, the horrible scars on Su Wan’s back were finally dealt with. At the same time, she was carefully wrapped in white gauze.
The strong smell of blood in the air had gradually faded away and was replaced with the smell of the peppermint-scented medicine.
Su Wan was nestled in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms. At this moment, she was almost exhausted.
The pain had eroded her rationality. She blinked her eyes in confusion. Looking at the blurry handsome face in front of her, she could not help but reach out and caress Jiang Xuecheng’s face.
“Will it leave a scar?”
Su Wan’s voice softened, with a strong sense of grievance and even a hint of coquettishness.
“From now on, my back… will it be ugly? You’re not allowed to despise me…”
Perhaps it was because Jiang Xuecheng was too gentle in applying the medicine, so she forgot that Jiang Xuecheng didn’t remember her anymore.
She treated him like the husband he used to be, the one who treated her with all his heart and soul.
When the words left her mouth, Su Wan finally realized what she had said!
She seemed to have been acting coquettishly with Jiang Xuecheng, but their identities were so awkward now, could it be that Jiang Xuecheng had misunderstood her…
Su Wan’s eyes suddenly widened, and she was about to stand up shakily to explain.
However, before Su Wanxiu could get up, she suddenly realized that her dress was already half undone. Her action almost caused the lavender dress to slide down her waist.
Su Wan’s face turned red, and she did not bother to explain anymore. She quickly stretched out her hand and barely covered herself with the dress.
Under the slightly bright light, the man looked down at her. An unknown light flashed in his deep eyes, causing Su Wan’s heartbeat to slow down.
Su Wan gulped. She looked embarrassedly at Jiang Xuecheng and pointed at her torn clothes.
“Your Highness… Since the medicine has been applied, can you find me some clothes first? Otherwise…”
Just as Su Wan was about to continue, she suddenly felt Jiang Xuecheng’s hand fall down.
He lowered his gaze, as if he did not hear Su Wan’s words. His warm palm touched Su Wan’s skin.
There was a thin callus on Jiang Xuecheng’s palm. His slender fingertip caressed her shoulder blade.
For some reason, even though Jiang Xuecheng’s palm was warm and cool, when he touched that bone, Su Wan felt that her skin was unusually hot.
Her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Time seemed to have been deliberately slowed down by something. Su Wan even felt that the air was somewhat stagnant.
Why did he suddenly want to caress her butterfly bone?
Just as Su Wan was surprised, a low voice that was like flowing water brushed past her ear.
“Don’t worry, I will find the best doctor to treat you. It won’t leave a scar.”
What?
Su Wan was stunned. When she heard what he said, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng!
“Thank…”
Thank you, Your Highness…
She had just opened her mouth to say the first word when the man suddenly blocked her mouth.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was indifferent. The half-light and half-dark rays covered his face, but the outline of his face became more and more three-dimensional.
He said this as if he felt that the strength of that sentence just now was not enough.
“Even if it leaves a scar, I don’t mind.”
That simple sentence immediately stunned Su Wan!
If what Jiang Xuecheng said just now could be explained as compensation, this sentence now, no matter how she looked at it, sounded like love words.
Was she thinking too much?!
Su Wan was dizzy. She blinked her big eyes, and she looked like a lost cat.
Su Wan was as limp as mud. Her slender body leaned into his arms, giving him the feeling that he could take whatever he wanted.
The man’s eyes suddenly deepened. He remembered the day he saw Su Wan at Glory World Hotel. She was like this, lying in his arms.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan’s appearance in a daze.
He could not help but lower his head and kiss Su Wan between her eyebrows.
It was a very light kiss, like a dragonfly flying over a lotus leaf. They parted at the first touch.
Su Wan was shocked. She did not have time to figure out what was going on.
She heard an even more shocking sentence. It was like a spring thunder that exploded on the ground, causing Su Wan to feel terrible.
“Be my woman.”
Jiang Xuecheng said this.
Su Wan could not help but feel dizzy. Did she really not misunderstand what he just said?!
