Chapter 832: Nightmare Strikes
The banquet ended shortly after it began. Jiang Xuecheng asked Su Wan if she wanted to stay here and admire the flowers for a bit longer.
Su Wan’s mind was filled with news of her being poisoned. How could she be in the mood to admire the flowers? Thus, she directly told Jiang Xuecheng that it was better to go back.
When she returned to the headquarters of the God’s Palace, it was already past one o’clock in the afternoon. Su Wan felt very tired.
Not only was she physically tired, but her heart was also heavy.
Jiang Xuecheng knew that Su Wan usually had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. He looked at Su Wan’s tired brows and could not help but feel a little heartache.
Hence, Jiang Xuecheng suggested.
“Wan Wan, why don’t you go take an afternoon nap first? I’ll wake you up in an hour.”
Doctor Li said that although he did not know the method to cure the CHK virus, other than making Su Wan take the medicine to relieve it on time, he also wanted her to rest more. She could not be tired, and she could not be worried.
Su Wan rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She hesitated for a few seconds before she finally nodded.
“Alright then, but you have to remember to wake me up at two o’clock. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I’ll sleep until night. If I’m too awake in the middle of the night, I’ll be in trouble.”
These past few days, she felt very tired all over. She felt that she could not exert her strength no matter how hard she tried.
At first, she thought it was because she lacked exercise. Now that she thought about it, it was probably because of the so-called CHK Virus No.3.
If she could think of these things, then the person who knew about it, Jiang Xuecheng, would definitely be able to guess more.
Therefore, Su Wan decided to listen to Jiang Xuecheng’s arrangements and take a nap.
…
Su Wan dragged her heavy body. She changed out of her gorgeous and dragging white peony dress and wore a simple nightgown.
Su Wan lay on the soft couch and covered her shoulders with the soft feather quilt.
The door was closed, but the window was open.
A cool breeze blew in from the outside. Su Wan could feel a slight chill, but it was not so cold.
She was probably too tired. Soon, Su Wan fell asleep.
However, Su Wan did not sleep peacefully.
In a daze, Su Wan’s delicate brows were tightly knitted together. Her mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of grayish-black smoke.
A nightmare came.
While Su Wan was in a daze, she suddenly heard a mocking laugh coming from somewhere.
“Ah, did you see that ugly freak? She couldn’t even hold things properly and even lost all her hair! She’s so ugly!”
“Go, go, go, don’t get unlucky.”
“Why are you still looking at that ugly freak? If you don’t hurry up, you won’t be able to attend the emperor’s wedding in time!”
What ugly freak?
What wedding?
Su Wan frowned. She was anxious to hear the discussions of those people. However, she was in a fog and couldn’t see anything clearly.
All of a sudden, she heard a beautiful string music.
It was the melody of the wedding march, solemn and elegant.
The fog in front of her gradually dispersed, turning into a scene from a fairy tale. A long red carpet lay in the middle of the road, leading to nowhere.
Soon, Su Wan saw a blinding white light coming from the front.
A tall and festive float drove out from the front of the red carpet, and two stable and powerful horses galloped in front of Su Wan.
The float was extremely beautiful. It was mainly painted in pure white and golden tones. The body of the float was inlaid with all kinds of gemstones. The pure lilies and the fiery red roses complemented each other.
Su Wan heard a burst of jubilant cheers. It was extremely lively.
“The bride is here! Come Down, come down, I really want to see how beautiful she is!”
“The eldest daughter of the Siswell family is finally getting married! She and the emperor are really a match made in heaven!”
“Isn’t that So? In this entire world, other than the emperor, who else is worthy of our Lady Diya!”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that.
The Emperor? …
Does that mean that the person who got married to Diya was Jiang Xuecheng?
Su Wan’s pupils suddenly contracted. She did not have time to think clearly.
She saw that the float had stopped steadily. The two pure white horses raised their heads arrogantly.
There was silence all around. Unprepared, Su Wan saw the man she loved the most in her life.
Jiang Xuecheng.
He rarely wore such grand clothes. He was dressed in a pure black tuxedo, and his red tie was meticulously tied in front of him.
He had handsome features and a smile on his face.
He had lost some of his usual stern and stern aura, and now he had more of the anticipation and excitement of being a groom.
Even so, he was still so perfect that people wanted to admire him.
Su Wan’s heart was pounding. She wanted to call out to him, but her throat seemed to be sealed by something. She could not say a word.
Su Wan could only watch as Jiang Xuecheng knelt down on one knee in front of the carriage to welcome his bride.
Suddenly, the curtain of the float was pulled open.
A noble and elegant figure appeared. Su Wan had never seen Diya smile so happily.
Her amber eyes were beautiful and bright, as if they could speak, causing people to be unable to help but be intoxicated by her smile.
It was very sweet, very clean, and there was also a trace of the bride’s joy and shyness.
Seeing the eldest daughter of the Siswell family appear, the air on the street froze for a moment, then there were all kinds of cheers and applause.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and hugged Diya, who was wearing a pure white wedding dress. The eighteen-year-old girl lowered her eyes, and her face was painted with the color of rosy clouds.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Diya with a smile. The smile on his face was bright, and he couldn’t help but kiss her on the side of her cheek.
“I love you, Diya. Today, you have finally become my bride.”
Diya’s face turned red. She leaned into the arms of Jiang Xuecheng in embarrassment and replied softly.
“Me too.”
Then, Jiang Xuecheng laughed softly and carried Diya in an extremely familiar manner.
Seeing this scene, the voices around them rose and fell. The atmosphere suddenly reached its peak.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman. The scene was so beautiful.
However, Su Wan only felt a loud bang in her head, a buzzing sound.
Her heart ached as if it was throbbing.
No, how could it be?
How could it be?
He had clearly said that he would not marry Diya.
Su Wan’s thoughts churned violently, and her eyes turned red. She did not know why her throat suddenly felt like it was not suppressed anymore.
Su Wan did not think about it and subconsciously shouted out loud.
“Jiang Xuecheng, I am your wife! Jiang Xuecheng!”
Su Wan shouted loudly. The newlyweds seemed to have heard Su Wan’s words and turned their heads in unison.
Su Wan’s heart was filled with joy, and she quickly took large strides towards Jiang Xuecheng. She stumbled and fell in front of Jiang Xuecheng in a moment of carelessness.
There was a burst of laughter all around.
However, what made Su Wan’s heart hurt the most was Jiang Xuecheng’s words.
“Diya, ignore this lunatic. Let’s go.”
Su Wan raised her head in disbelief, and saw her own reflection in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes.
A woman with more than half of her hair gone bald. Her face was as pale as a ghost, and her face was full of tears.
That person was her?!
