Chapter 1000: We Can’t Live Under The Same Roof
When he heard Su Wan mention the unusual behavior of Ming Ye and Diya, Jiang Xuecheng frowned.
He had always thought that the man who looked like him… obviously had feelings towards Su Wan.
It was a kind of intuition that came from the same species.
However, what Su Wan said made sense.
Seeing Ming Ye leave with Diya in his arms, his posture was skillful and his expression was very natural…
At least, Ming Ye should not hate Diya. This was something that could be confirmed by Jiang Xuecheng, who was also a man.
However, it was hard to say what kind of relationship Ming Ye had with Diya.
To Jiang Xuecheng, there were too few things that could catch his eye. He would not care about other people’s private matters.
As long as Ming Ye did not have any designs on Su Wan, it was fine. As for whether Ming Ye liked Diya or other women, it had nothing to do with him!
…
Su Wan saw that the corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips were slightly pursed and he looked like he was thinking about something. She could not help but poke Jiang Xuecheng’s arm a few more times.
“Hey, can you at least answer me? Don’t you think that Diya and Ming Ye really… feel a little strange?”
Thinking back, when she shook hands with Diya back at the mountain and water villa, Diya had repeatedly promised that she did not like Jiang Xuecheng anymore and that she had another lover.
Su Wan had only thought that Diya had said it casually.
Now that she thought about it, that man could not be Ming Ye, right?
But these two people, one was a mysterious man who lived on the run and had no fixed abode, and the other was a young lady who was supported by the Siswell family.
Where would she have the time to get to know him?
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had fallen into some kind of mental deadlock. Her mind was a mess, and she could not understand it at all.
Just as Su Wan was having a headache, Jiang Xuecheng gently patted Su Wan’s shoulder.
“Why are you thinking so much about other people’s matters?”
Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng’s nonchalant attitude and immediately pursed her lips.
Alright, she would not admit that she was quite a gossipy person.
If Diya and Ming Ye really had feelings toward each other, Su Wan really did not know what kind of change would happen to the relationship between the two of them after such a thing happened to Diya.
Right now, Diya was still not sober. She would wait for Diya to wake up and take a good look.
When Su Wan recalled Diya’s tearful appearance, her heart felt bitter and she immediately fell silent.
Even if some things did not happen to her, they were both girls, so Su Wan’s heart ached for Diya.
She could only hope that Diya could take this step and get rid of the haze behind her, so that she would have a bright future.
…
Just as Su Wan’s thoughts were running wild, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
She looked up and saw a tall and thin man walking towards her.
It seemed that the anesthetic injection was done.
Diya should still be sleeping soundly, right?
Su Wan could not help but ask Ming Ye.
“Diya fell asleep?”
Ming Ye glanced at Su Wan casually, then nodded indifferently and sat down on the sofa.
“Yes, after the anesthetic injection, she fainted temporarily, but this is not a long-term plan.”
Of course, this was not a long-term plan!
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were also very clear about this.
What had happened was like a scar. To Diya, it was a wound that was difficult to heal.
And she could not be given an anesthetic injection every day or put her to sleep to prevent Diya from committing suicide…
In short, it was unrealistic.
The only way was to face it head-on.
Su Wan couldn’t help but feel a little absent-minded. She glanced at the room where Diya was sleeping. Her pale lips quivered a few times before she finally opened her mouth hesitantly.
“Ming Ye, regarding the matter of Diya’s placement… What are you going to do?”
Now that the Siswell family had fallen, and the high priest obviously didn’t like the Siswell family, if Diya wanted to restore her status as the eldest daughter of the family, it would be in name but not reality.
As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The small noble forces that used to rely on the Siswell family, as well as all sorts of people who tried to curry favor with the Siswell family, had mostly dispersed.
People tended to seek benefits and avoid harm. Seeing that the high priest was targeting the Siswell family, who would dare to show any unusual behavior? If the high priest were to consider them as Fiennes’ accomplices, it would be terrible!
So many noble ladies were pleading for Fiennes, saying that they wanted to keep a complete corpse for his burial. However, in the end, all of them were rejected by the high priest!
Fiennes was already dead, yet the high priest still wanted to chop him into pieces, sever his limbs, and throw him into the wilderness to feed the wolves. Just how much did she hate that man?!
She would not let him off even after he was dead!
It was simply horrifying!
Therefore, it was impossible for Diya to seek refuge with other noble forces.
However, if Diya was to stay with Ming Ye… cough, cough, it seemed even more unrealistic.
After all, it was because Diya had quarreled with Ming Ye about whether she should stay or not… that was why she ran out in a fit of anger…
Su Wan knew that Ming Ye lived a life with a knife hanging above his head. It was indeed not suitable for him to stay with Diya because it was too dangerous and could easily harm her and himself.
Just as Su Wan was curious about Ming Ye’s answer, she suddenly saw Ming Ye’s expression become much more serious.
“Su Wan, can I ask you for a favor?”
Su Wan still rarely saw Ming Ye’s serious expression. She was suddenly not used to it.
Especially when Jiang Xuecheng was watching from the side. Su Wan felt that her man’s sharp eyes were flying towards her. She could not stand it anymore. Sob, sob…
Jealousy wasn’t a good habit!
“Ming Ye, just say it. If it’s something I can do, I will certainly spare no effort.”
Su Wan smiled embarrassedly, but she suddenly saw Jiang Xuecheng’s face turn a little darker!
It was as if he was about to flip out!
Did she say something wrong just now?
Su Wan’s eyes widened. In order to show her loyalty, she hurriedly held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. The skin on their palms touched each other, and it was gentle and delicate.
In the face of Su Wan’s ingratiating action, Jiang Xuecheng’s expression became a little better.
Ming Ye’s expression was indifferent. He seemed to have gotten used to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng openly showing their affection, pretending that he did not see it.
“Su Wan, Diya’s mood is very unstable now. I can’t stay under the same roof with her for a long time. If I ask you to take care of her for a while, is that okay?”
Su Wan was instantly stunned!
So it turned out that Ming Ye wanted to entrust Diya to her!
Su Wan had never considered this point before. However, thinking about it this way, it was indeed the most suitable compromise.
The God’s Palace was currently in a state of internal turmoil. If they wanted to protect Diya, they would definitely need someone with a relatively high status to oversee things.
And Jiang Xuecheng was precisely such a choice.
Su Wan’s conflict with Diya had already been resolved, she naturally didn’t mind. Thus, she immediately looked towards Jiang Xuecheng, using her gaze to ask for his opinion.
Jiang Xuecheng sighed. He knew that Su Wan was the softest.
“As long as you don’t mind, I don’t mind either.”
Su Wan was overjoyed. However, before she could say anything, she suddenly heard a loud clang.
“But I don’t agree!”
