Chapter 959: He Actually Put Something In!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Perhaps because there were too many people around, the other party’s voice was very low, so only Su Wan herself could hear it.
This voice…
Su Wan’s heart pounded, and she only felt a layer of heat in her eyes.
It was as if a flower had bloomed from the soles of her feet, slowly wrapping itself around her blood.
Such happiness… and such fear.
Was it him?
Was it him…
Because she was too excited, Su Wan had no choice but to bite down hard on her lips to force herself to calm down.
She looked up and saw a plate first. Sure enough, there was an exquisite hazelnut cake on it. The cake maker had carved it into the shape of a rose.
It was so beautiful that even before Su Wan ate it, she already felt the sweetness in her heart.
The hand holding the plate was whiter than the average man’s. The knuckles were long and slender, and the nails were neatly trimmed. At a glance, it looked like a hand that played the piano.
Even though this man had never learned to play the piano.
Su Wan took a deep breath, and she felt the heat in her eyes grow. She pinched herself again, and then slowly looked at the man’s face.
It was only a few seconds, but it seemed like half a lifetime had passed.
What came into her sight was a rather honest and young face.
Thick eyebrows and round eyes made him look harmless, but his lips were too thin, as if he was a little heartless.
…
It was a completely unfamiliar face.
But… it exuded a familiar aura everywhere.
Su Wan stared at the man in a daze and almost failed to take the plate he handed her.
During the time she was locked up in the small dark Quiet Room, Su Wan almost suspected that she was going to die. Perhaps after she died, she would never see Jiang Xuecheng again.
In the endless darkness, only the silhouette of this man could be seen clearly in her sleep.
And at this moment, even if Jiang Xuecheng had changed his appearance, Su Wan could still recognize him through some details.
They were husband and wife, husband and wife who shared the same heart.
It was impossible for Su Wan not to recognize him.
However… it was still too risky for Jiang Xuecheng to come here.
Su Wan realized that her eyes had been on him for too long and was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she quickly turned her head to look at the hazelnut cake.
At this time, Jiang Xuecheng had also walked far away.
Su Wan watched him walk further and further away from the corner of her eyes, and a complicated feeling spread in her heart.
She didn’t know if it was sweet or bitter.
He had come to see her. Someone like Jiang Xuecheng, who would only make a move if he was 100% sure, was definitely taking a risk by coming here now.
It was completely inconsistent with Jiang Xuecheng’s usual style.
In just a short while, Jiang Xuecheng’s figure had already blended into the crowd. The figure in the gray-blue uniform had already disappeared.
Jiang Xuecheng’s temperament was too unique. Su Wan could feel that he had deliberately made some small changes in order to hide his identity.
For example, his legs were slightly bent, his back was hunched, and his face was lowered to the ground…
Su Wan could not help but sigh. But even so, it was still too dangerous.
As long as it was someone familiar with him, it was impossible for them not to recognize him.
Su Wan held the hazelnut cake in her hand, suspecting that there might be something hidden inside. Just as Su Wan was about to hide the hazelnut cake, she suddenly felt a shadow in front of her.
Su Wan was stunned. She raised her head to take a look, only then did she realize that the Siswell siblings had already arrived.
“Ah Wan, you like hazelnut cake too?”
Diya smiled at Su Wan, her big amber eyes extremely lively.
Su Wan was speechless. Why did she feel that Diya called her by her nickname so naturally? On the other hand, she felt uncomfortable listening to it!
Fortunately, Su Wan had basically shaken hands with Diya. Otherwise, when she heard Diya looking at her with such a smile, Su Wan would really be terrified. She might even think that this young lady was trying to set her up.
She had no choice. Once bitten, twice shy.
Although Su Wan no longer hated Diya, more or less, she still felt that the two of them were not suited to be friends.
After all, there was a huge difference in their opinions.
Su Wan looked at Diya’s innocent and beautiful face. She smiled and nodded lightly.
“I like it, but as long as it’s a delicious dessert, I will like it.”
When Fiennes heard Su Wan’s words, he immediately looked at her twice more. He could not help but think of how Su Wan had buried herself in her food earlier.
There were seven beautiful women dancing in front of her, but Su Wan was in the mood to enjoy a spoonful of crab roe and a spoonful of shrimp, as if she had no interest at all.
In this regard, Fiennes still admired Su Wan.
“There’s a chef in south street who specializes in making cakes. Although he only takes a few jobs every day, the desserts he makes are beyond description.”
Fiennes looked at Su Wan indifferently, as if he had casually blended into the topic.
“If you like sweets, I can send someone to buy them for you next time.”
When Su Wan heard this, she did not know why, but she felt goosebumps all over her body.
Su Wan held the hazelnut cake and did not know what to say.
Although Su Wan did not know where Jiang Xuecheng was, she did not want Jiang Xuecheng to misunderstand her and Fiennes.
If it were her, if she heard that her wife was going to be engaged to another man, she would probably be furious!
Su Wan smiled awkwardly. She did not understand what Fiennes was up to, so she could only nod.
“Thank you.”
There were people everywhere. Many pairs of eyes were staring at her and Fiennes. It was impossible for her to disobey Fiennes face to face.
Diya seemed to have not noticed the awkward silence between Su Wan and Fiennes. She suddenly burst into laughter and poked Fiennes’ arm.
“Brother, you are too disloyal. In the past, I begged and begged you to buy from the cake shop in the South Street. Now that it’s a different person, your attitude has changed so much!”
Fiennes’ expression was indifferent. His blue eyes flickered for a moment, revealing a doting smile towards Diya.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t buy it for you.”
Su Wan couldn’t help but sigh in her heart when she saw the scene of Fiennes and Diya loving each other. It seemed that Fiennes and Diya really had a good relationship.
Although Su Wan still felt that Fiennes was a little too scary, she had to admit that no matter how evil a person was, there would probably be one or two places of warmth in their hearts for the people closest to them.
Su Wan looked at them laughing and joking. She silently picked up the hazelnut cake and gently took a bite.
With just one bite, Su Wan felt a thin layer of paper-like thing.
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Jiang Xuecheng actually put something in it!
Su Wan quickly and carefully ate the hazelnut cake. While Fiennes and Diya were having a heated conversation, she took the chance when they were not paying attention and slowly squeezed the piece of paper into her palm.
