The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 761
Chapter 761: Jiang Xuecheng’s Suspicions
Seeing Su Wan’s hesitation, Jiang Xuecheng’s originally expectant face suddenly became a little disappointed.
His eyes dimmed, and he forced himself to nod.
“That’s fine too. I won’t force you.”
At least Su Wan didn’t directly reject him, did she?
As long as Su Wan was by his side, he could wait slowly. Sooner or later, he would melt Su Wan’s resistant shell and let her accept him from the inside out!
After experiencing the feeling of Su Wan leaving him, Jiang Xuecheng could no longer bear the feeling of being alone. That kind of fear could almost swallow his rationality!
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s lonely eyes and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She did not want to make Jiang Xuecheng sad, but there were some things that she really did not know how to say.
“Your Highness, I…”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes darkened when he heard Su Wan still address him in such a distant manner. He pursed his lips into a straight arc and immediately interrupted Su Wan.
“I said, don’t call me that in the future.”
Jiang Xuecheng paused. A scene suddenly flashed in his mind. His thin lips moved as he spoke awkwardly.
“You… you can just call me Cheng like before.”
Jiang Xuecheng said the word Cheng in Chinese.
Ever since he heard Su Wan call him that in the surveillance footage, he had a very familiar feeling, and he did not reject it at all.
It was as if he was already used to it deep down in his bones. Su Wan called him that way, and he was even more used to her affectionate and gentle eyes when she called him that.
He was even a little jealous of his ‘Cheng’ self that Su Wan called Cheng!
They were clearly the same person. He looked so stupid in the middle of the night. Why was he still able to have such a pleasant conversation with Su Wan?
Moreover… the emperor of the God’s Palace could not have a name…
However, if he had to have a name, he would rather that the name was given by Su Wan.
This was because the girl in front of him was a priceless treasure at the bottom of his heart. For some unknown reason, Su Wan’s name seemed to have a lot of different meanings.
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was very mellow. There was not a hint of authority nor was there any element of flattery. It was as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.
When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s suggestion, she was the first to be stunned!
What did this man just say?
He wanted her to call him Xuecheng… No, Cheng?
The long-lost Chinese language echoed in her ears. Su Wan’s eyes turned hot, and there was even a thin layer of mist in them.
“Did you think of something?”
As soon as this thought came to Su Wan’s mind, she could no longer suppress it. She could not help but reach out to grab Jiang Xuecheng’s arm. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of anticipation.
There was also a hint of worry.
She was afraid that she had thought wrong!
However, what Jiang Xuecheng had just said was clearly in Chinese!
Jiang Xuecheng was a little surprised as to why Su Wan was so agitated. He furrowed his slender brows and glanced at the hand that Su Wan was grabbing on his arm.
“Are you referring to recalling something?”
When Su Wan saw the confused look in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes, she immediately understood that she had thought too much. However, she was really unwilling to miss any opportunity to clarify the truth.
Therefore, in the end, Su Wan still eagerly grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s arm. With a cautious expression, she probed.
“Why do you want me to call you Cheng?”
Looking at Su Wan’s expectant and struggling expression, Jiang Xuecheng’s brows furrowed even deeper. He could not bear to see Su Wan disappointed.
However… he already vaguely understood that what he was about to say and what Su Wan was looking forward to at the moment were probably two different things.
The man lowered his head and silently grabbed Su Wan’s arm. He was domineering yet gentle.
“I have indeed thought of some things, but…”
When Su Wan heard the first half of his sentence, the excitement in her eyes grew even stronger. However, when she heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, it was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water all over her body.
From her skull to her ankles.
Su Wan heard what he said.
“I seem to have a second personality every night, so I understand why I would appear in your bedroom when you were in the God’s Palace.”
Su Wan’s heart suddenly tightened.
The anticipation in her eyes receded and turned into a bit of self-mockery.
As expected, she was thinking too much.
It turned out that it was because of this that Jiang Xuecheng knew the name Cheng. The things he knew did not involve anything on Earth at all.
Su Wan was very upset. She raised her eyes and asked reluctantly.
“Is that all? Did you… recall anything else?”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head decisively.
“No. In fact, I don’t know much about my second personality.”
He did not understand why Su Wan looked so strange. It was as if he had forgotten something that he should not have forgotten.
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the silly and foolish him at night was more important than the clear-headed one now?
So those things were clearly not what he had experienced, yet he had to remember them one by one?
He knew that it was laughable to be jealous of himself, but Jiang Xuecheng’s heart still hurt a little, as if he was being gnawed by a bug.
Seeing Su Wan’s dejected look, Jiang Xuecheng frowned and finally said something that was very important to him.
“Wan Wan, ever since I learned that my second personality would appear late at night, I’ve already asked a professional for advice. I’m trying to… fuse that consciousness.”
Jiang Xuecheng originally wanted to say “erase,” but in the end, he changed to a more tactful way of saying it.
A subpersonality would interfere with the main personality. To be on the safe side, he couldn’t allow the second personality to continue developing and strengthening.
He was currently undergoing mental treatment for himself, and the current progress wasn’t too bad. Although he had less sleep, he could basically control himself at night and prevent himself from “falling ill” again.
Jiang Xuecheng didn’t consult a doctor that was often seen by the God’s Palace. Instead, after changing his appearance, he found a well-known expert and asked about it in private. At the same time, he concealed his identity as the God’s Palace’s emperor.
After all, the identity of the Emperor of the God’s Palace was too special. If news of the Emperor having a mental breakdown were to spread, it might not be a good thing.
At that time, when that expert gave many feasible suggestions, he also repeatedly asked a question.
He asked if his mental state had been stimulated?
Otherwise, logically speaking, such a situation wouldn’t have happened…
Jiang Xuecheng secretly sent people to investigate. After the doctor’s reminder, he began to suspect that the high priest had drugged him.
However, from the looks of it, Jiang Xuecheng still did not find any clues. However, everything was too clean and untraceable, which made it even more suspicious. He was slowly following the clues.
For example, Ming Ye, who was similar in size to him, and the high priest had been looking for him. Just this alone was very suspicious.
There was no rush. He had already released the bait and was only waiting for the other party to take it…
