The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 797

Chapter 797: Implicated Su Wan’s Life

Hearing Director Fan mention Su Wan, the young man who lowered his head to smoke suddenly raised his eyes.

“There’s no need!”

Jiang Xuecheng coughed and suddenly added.

“Don’t let her come over!”

Although Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was hoarse, his tone was very determined. Director Fan was immediately stunned when he heard this and felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

His Highness was actually unwilling to see Miss Su. What exactly was it that caused the high priest and His Highness to fall out like this?!

Director Fan did not dare to think further. He even began to silently admit that the injuries on the high priest’s body were caused by the Persian cat.

Thinking too much was wrong. In order not to bring harm to himself, it was better to think less.

Director Fan did not know that after the high priest told him that Su Wan had been poisoned, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly did not dare to see Su Wan.

He had never been as weak as he was now. He even wanted to rely on nicotine to ease the heaviness in his heart.

According to the high priest, the CHK Virus No.3 only had an incubation period of a month and a half, which meant that Su Wan would soon feel the abnormal changes in her body.

What would she do then?!

Those small animals were paralyzed and even injured themselves because they could not bear the pain of the poison acting up. Would he have to watch Su Wan do the same?

Jiang Xuecheng unconsciously lowered his head and stubbornly took another puff of the cigarette in his hand.

It was still an unaccustomed taste, pungent and astringent, all the way to his heart.

Jiang Xuecheng had never understood before why people could use nicotine to numb themselves.

When he looked at the flickering sparks in his hand, he still had no answer in his heart.

His will was still clear, and the facts could not be changed.

Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng lit another cigarette. In the crystal plate not far away was the remnants of the previous cigarette, sparks still lingering.

Seeing Jiang Xuecheng like this, Director Fan felt very depressed.

It was as if the air was not filled with the strong smell of tobacco, but an unconcealable sadness.

Director Fan thought about the recent events and suddenly found the closest answer.

Could it be that the high priest had grasped some vital point of the emperor and forced him to marry Miss Diya of the Siswell Family?!

It seemed to be the case…

Director Fan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He didn’t expect the newly promoted emperor to be so infatuated.

After all, most of the children of wealthy families couldn’t choose their own marriages. Basically, the one on the marriage certificate was provided for at home. They might find someone else outside.

Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, Director Fan had seen a lot of such situations.

When Director Fan saw the despairing figure of Jiang Xuecheng, he only felt that the smell of tobacco in the room was so strong that it was unbearable.

If this continued, it would be very bad for his health!

Director Fan furrowed his brows. He knew that his persuasion would most likely not work, so he walked to the window not far away.

He first pulled open the gauze curtain, then pushed the window outwards, letting in the cool breeze from outside.

The smell of smoke finally dispersed a little.

After Director Fan had done all this, he nodded at Jiang Xuecheng. There was some concern in his voice.

“Your Highness, although I don’t know what happened to you, you have to be more open-minded about matters like marriage. I feel that if Miss Su is reasonable, she will definitely understand you.”

After saying this, Director Fan slowly retreated out of the study and even closed the door behind him.

…

Once again, only Jiang Xuecheng was left in the empty study.

Once again, Jiang Xuecheng choked on his cigarette.

Actually, he didn’t like this smell.

He got up and walked to the open window at the side. Outside was a clear blue sky, and the fresh flowers and plants carried the fragrance of the wind.

A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. He finally lowered his head and extinguished the flickering spark on the cigarette butt.

No matter what, nicotine could not numb his will.

He had to face what he had to face.

Jiang Xuecheng suddenly wanted to take the initiative to look for Su Wan.

He wanted to see her.

And… There were still very important things waiting for him.

…

At this time, Su Wan was reading a book in her room. On the table was an introduction to interstellar common language.

Su Wan’s interstellar common language was not good enough. It was enough for her to socialize normally, but she might not be able to understand more profound words.

When Su Wan saw the complicated words on the table, her mind was a mess. She actually had the urge to sleep.

Su Wan stretched and couldn’t help but yawn.

At this moment, Su Wan heard the lock click, and the sound of the door opening came from not far away.

Su Wan turned her head and, as expected, saw the face of Jiang Xuecheng.

“Jiang Xuecheng…”

Su Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled. However, in less than a second, Su Wan realized that something was wrong.

An unfamiliar and strong smell of tobacco came from the door.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so awful?”

Not far away, a man was wearing an exquisite custom-made shirt, but there were many wrinkles on it. Looking up, it was Jiang Xuecheng’s face.

His facial features were still as handsome and deep as before, but there was not much color in them. Moreover, there seemed to be a very strange feeling between his brows.

Su Wan felt strange under his gaze.

What’s wrong?

Su Wan hurriedly put down the information book in her hand and ran quickly toward Jiang Xuecheng. When she got closer to Jiang Xuecheng, she realized that the tobacco smell on his body was even stronger.

It didn’t seem like he had been exposed to secondhand smoke, but more like…

“You smoked?”

Su Wan grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s hand in surprise and realized that his palm was cold.

Su Wan had been married to Jiang Xuecheng for a long time, so of course she knew that Jiang Xuecheng did not smoke. To be more precise, it seemed that the men in the Jiang family did not smoke. Perhaps it was a family trait, and they paid more attention to their health.

Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He looked at Su Wan’s concerned face, and a corner of his heart ached.

He knew that his current appearance must have scared Su Wan, so he quickly put on a serious expression and pretended to smile casually.

“Yeah, I’ve never smoked before, so I wanted to give it a try on a whim.”

Seeing Su Wan frown, Jiang Xuecheng quickly explained.

“But don’t worry, I didn’t take a liking for tobacco. This time, it’s just because it was fresh. I won’t touch it again in the future.”

Like Su Wan, he didn’t like people who smelled like tobacco.

Su Wan buried her head in Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. Through the black shirt, Su Wan could hear Jiang Xuecheng’s heartbeat, one beat after another.

Su Wan’s heart calmed down.

“That’s good. Smoking is indeed bad for your health.”

Su Wan raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s face. She saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired.

“I heard that the high priest is back. Did she force you to marry Diya and make things difficult for you?”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard Su Wan’s words, he found it difficult to breathe.

If she had just forced him to marry Diya, he would not have been in such pain because he knew that he would not agree to it.

However, if Su Wan’s life was involved, Jiang Xuecheng really did not know what would happen to him…
