Chapter 831: Jiang Xuecheng’s Principle
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng with a serious expression.
If she had not agreed to some harsh conditions, Su Wan could not think of why the high priest would dismiss the banquet so easily.
From Jiang Xuecheng’s attitude, Su Wan could see that the high priest and Jiang Xuecheng had reached an agreement.
Dismissing this banquet would mean that the marriage between Diya and Jiang Xuecheng would be nullified, right?
In order to get the high priest to agree to this matter, Su Wan did not know what Jiang Xuecheng had sacrificed for her.
But no matter what, the person she did not want to drag down the most was the man in front of her.
This man loved her deeply, and she loved him deeply.
“Jiang Xuecheng, answer me.”
Su Wan stood on her tiptoes and held up Jiang Xuecheng’s face seriously. Her expression was indescribably serious.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly. His pitch-black eyes were filled with affection.
“Actually, it’s nothing. I’m still useful to the high priest. She can’t force me to death. In addition, Fiennes doesn’t want me to marry his sister either. This marriage will be considered to be canceled.”
As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Su Wan’s hair. His voice was deep and pleasant, like jade striking against each other.
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was too calm. It was precisely because of this calmness that Su Wan felt uneasy.
If she hadn’t coincidentally heard about her being infected by the virus earlier, she might have really believed it.
Su Wan’s eyes welled up, and a sour taste appeared in her throat.
“Can you not treat me like a child and coax me? I will only feel uneasy if you carry everything on your own.”
That’s right. Su Wan might be afraid of being poisoned, but that did not mean that she would be so weak that she would sit still and wait for death.
She also wanted to help Jiang Xuecheng.
She was not a fragile dodder flower. If she had to say it, Su Wan wanted to stand by his side like a tree and help Jiang Xuecheng tough the storm together.
Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan was stubborn and wanted to hear the answer, and he felt helpless.
“You want to know what I talked about with the high priest so badly?”
When Su Wan heard this, her heart beat faster.
Would Jiang Xuecheng tell her everything?
Su Wan stared at Jiang Xuecheng without blinking. Her eyes were full of stubbornness, and her fingers were clenched even tighter.
“I want to know the truth, everything, without hiding anything.”
For example, how long could she live?
What was the possibility of curing the CHK Virus No.3 in her body?
Now that she thought about it carefully, ever since the day Jiang Xuecheng wanted to take her for a pregnancy test, Jiang Xuecheng had been so persistent in asking her to drink medicine every day.
Perhaps, that medicine was used to slow down the effects of the CHK Virus No.3?
However, she foolishly thought that Jiang Xuecheng only wanted to recuperate her physique because he saw that her body was too weak.
Oh right, pregnancy test…
Su Wan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a bitter feeling welled up in her throat.
Could it be that the CHK Virus No.3 would still be a threat to the next generation?
When Jiang Xuecheng saw the pregnancy test report stating that there were no children, he clearly heaved a sigh of relief. Did that prove that the two of them were indeed not suitable to have children?
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s anxious expression, he did not think too much about it. Right now, he only suspected that Su Wan might have been the eavesdropper at the time, but he had not fully confirmed it.
“Wan Wan, it’s actually just as you think. The High Priest did threaten me, but in the end, both of us took a step back and called it a compromise. She will let me go and inspect a new immigration planet in the near future.”
Su Wan said that she wanted to know the truth. Jiang Xuecheng could only avoid the worst. He definitely did not want Su Wan to know that she was infected with the virus.
After all, even if Su Wan knew about it, it would be useless. Instead, it would add to Su Wan’s burden!
“Go to a new immigration planet to inspect. What’s the point of going there?”
Su Wan had already expected that Jiang Xuecheng would not tell her about the virus. Her heart ached for a moment, but she did not struggle too much. She directly grasped the main point of what Jiang Xuecheng said.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out and gently scratched Su Wan’s nose bridge.
“To be precise, it’s not an inspection. It can be considered disaster relief and deterrence.”
Jiang Xuecheng paused and began to explain to Su Wan in detail.
“That planet is called Planet Aquamarine. It’s a relatively poor new immigrant planet. There have been a number of geological disasters in a row this month. However, the local God’s Palace seems to have failed to provide disaster relief, causing the public’s anger to be more serious.”
Su Wan nodded her head in realization.
So they were asking Jiang Xuecheng to become the sword of the government?!
When Su Wan had just arrived, she had seen how poor a new immigrants planet was. Moreover, there were quite a number of corrupt officials in the God’s Palace.
If a natural or man-made disaster suddenly occurred and the officials embezzled some disaster relief money, it would be strange if the residents there weren’t hopping mad!
The barren environment might not produce unruly people, but they often produced unruly officials.
Su Wan felt slightly more at ease. She reached out and tugged at Jiang Xuecheng’s arm, her voice tinged with unwitting worry.
“Then how long will you be gone? Can… can I go with you?”
She did not want to stay here alone.
When Su Wan thought of the CHK Virus No.3 in her body, she felt uneasy. If one day she suddenly died, but she did not even see Jiang Xuecheng’s face for the last time, how could she be willing?
She hoped that she could stay by Jiang Xuecheng’s side until the last second of her life.
In fact, even if Su Wan did not mention it, Jiang Xuecheng had also been considering this problem.
He could not possibly allow Su Wan to remain in the God’s Palace alone.
However, the hidden bomb in Su Wan’s body was the CHK Virus No.3. If anything were to happen to Jiang Xuecheng outside, it would be too late to save her.
However, on one hand, Jiang Xuecheng had already sent people to study the properties of the CHK Virus No.3. On the other hand, after Jiang Xuecheng agreed to the conditions, the high priest had given him a few bottles of medicine to alleviate the illness.
According to the high priest, with those few bottles of medicine, it wouldn’t be a problem for Su Wan’s body to delay its decay for a few months. Within these few months, Su Wan’s virus wouldn’t be fatal.
Jiang Xuecheng did not dare to gamble with Su Wan, but he could not be at ease leaving Su Wan alone in the God’s Palace.
“Alright, then I’ll bring you along.”
It was always easier to take care of Su Wan by his side.
He did not want Su Wan to leave his sight. He was trembling with fear as he thought about Su Wan’s current physical condition.
When Su Wan heard this, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She immediately stood on her tiptoes and kissed Jiang Xuecheng’s face.
Su Wan smiled so widely that her eyes were curved. Her pair of clear almond-shaped eyes were big and bright, like the stars in the sky.
He was willing to do anything for Su Wan’s smile.
Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curled. He immediately pressed down on Su Wan’s head and kissed her.
If it was possible, he really hoped that Su Wan would always be like this, smiling brightly and happily.
She didn’t need to know anything.
All the darkness, he could face it alone.
As a man, he should give everything he had to protect the woman he loved.
This was Jiang Xuecheng’s principle.
