Director Fan had mingled in the God’s Palace for many years. Under his influence, he more or less had some understanding of the hidden rules of the upper-class society.

  He was most worried that the emperor was young and impetuous. If he couldn’t take it and messed with young master Keller to death, then he would be in trouble.

  Before he had absolute authority, doing such a thing would only make the hearts of the nobles turn cold.

  Now it seemed that His Highness had not been blinded by Miss Su’s matter.

  This newly promoted emperor had just taken office, and the guests present were either rich or noble. If they were to directly offend him, they would probably not be able to do anything in the future.

  This kind of method of combining grace and power was not bad.

  Just as Director Fan let out a sigh of relief, he saw Jiang Xuecheng take large strides and leave with Su Wan in his arms……

  The sun was shining brightly outside. Su Wan had been locked up in a small dark room for several days by Aunt He. The brilliant golden threads almost burned her eyes.

  However, Su Wan could not help but take a few more glances. There were also the swaying trees and leaves by the roadside, as well as the birds jumping up and down on the branches.

  Su Wan rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. The dark and gloomy color on her face also relaxed.

  It was as if the entire air was filled with the aura of freedom.

  Finally, it was no longer the extremely depressing atmosphere of the auction hall!

  Su Wan’s heart relaxed. She silently listened to Jiang Xuecheng’s steady and powerful heartbeat, and could not help but feel at ease.

  Even subconsciously, she was somewhat fond of this kind of warmth.

  Even though the atmosphere between the two of them was extremely bad and tense.

  Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and glanced coldly at Su Wan. He just happened to see the corner of Su Wan’s slightly curved lips.

  “Are you happy?”


  The other party’s voice was deep and full of sarcasm.

  When Su Wan heard this, she could not help but be stunned — could it be that she had to seek death to make Jiang Xuecheng happy?

  But it did not seem like it……

  Su Wan winked at Jiang Xuecheng in a fawning manner, trying her best to express her innocence.

  “You rescued me from the inside, and I don’t want to be a slave to others. Of course I’m happy. Xue…… Your Highness, thank you.”


  Su Wan was so excited that she almost spilled the beans. The word “Xuecheng” almost slipped out of her mouth.

  When Jiang Xuecheng heard the word “Xue” that barely stopped the car, his softened expression became extremely cold again.

  “Xuecheng, is it?”


  In the surveillance footage, he had heard Su Wan call him that. To be more precise, she did not call him the current him, but called him that idiotic second personality.

  Su Wan had hidden too many things from him. In Jiang Xuecheng’s life, the first thing he hated was betrayal, and the second thing he hated was deception.

  And Su Wan had committed both of them at once. He did not know where he had gone crazy, but he was still reluctant to do anything ruthless to Su Wan.

  “Since you want to thank me, show me some sincerity!”


  Jiang Xuecheng said this coldly. Before Su Wan could react, she suddenly saw Jiang Xuecheng carry her onto the maglev car and walk directly to the lounge.

  He reached out his hand and threw Su Wan onto the soft couch in the lounge in an extremely rough manner.

  Su Wan was hurt from the fall. She felt pain and embarrassment.

  Her heart was filled with endless grievance.

  Why did Jiang Xuecheng bully her like this?!

  Was she the one who was willingly abducted and sold?!

  She was still tied up. Although there was an exquisite silk blanket on the soft couch, Su Wan did not even have a place to lean on. She felt that her legs and waist were in great pain from the fall!

  Jiang Xuecheng had never been so unkind to women in the past!

  Su Wan was complaining in her heart. Because of the pain, a thin mist could not help but seep out of her eyes.

  However, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly pressed on her. His figure was about 1.8 meters tall, and soon, a thick shadow covered Su Wan’s body.

  The two of them were in a very strange position.

  Most importantly, Jiang Xuecheng was dressed very normally. His shirt and trousers were straight, while her clothes did not look right. She looked like a fish waiting to be slaughtered.

  When Su Wan thought about how she was tied up, she could not help but feel ashamed.

  Her ears felt inexplicably hot. Because her hands and feet were bound, Su Wan did not even have the chance to try to move away from Jiang Xuecheng!

  It was really killing her!

  Su Wan’s cheeks were abnormally red. She lowered her eyes and her voice became a little weak.

  “Can you not press me down like this? Although we are still some distance away, it’s very……”


  Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan silently. His thin lips were tightly pursed. Only when he tried his best to control himself did he not lean over to kiss Su Wan’s slightly opened lips.

  Why did this woman’s words always sound so unpleasant?!

  If he could shut Su Wan’s mouth, perhaps he would feel better.

  Su Wan looked at the flawless handsome face of Jiang Xuecheng and the pair of eyes staring at her. She smiled awkwardly.

  “Don’t tell me you want to kiss me?”


  After Su Wan exposed his thoughts, Jiang Xuecheng’s hidden hand on his sleeve trembled, but the expression on his face became even colder.

  Even the corner of his lips curved into a mocking smile.

  “Didn’t you just ask me to help you untie these ropes? Otherwise, why would I lower my head? Why do you think I want to kiss you?”


  Jiang Xuecheng’s tone was sarcastic, and his voice was cold and thin. There was no warmth or fluctuation in his voice, which made Su Wan feel even more embarrassed.

  Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart and could only speak to Jiang Xuecheng respectfully.

  “Then I’ll have to trouble Your Highness.”


  Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes darkened. No one could tell what emotions were in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes, whether it was anger or a faint desire for Su Wan.

  After all, he liked her so much.

  As expected, after Jiang Xuecheng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and started to untie the ribbon that was binding Su Wan.

  His expression was as cold as ice, but his hands carried a certain kind of intense heat as they moved slowly across Su Wan’s skin.

  It was just untying a rope. Why did Jiang Xuecheng move so slowly? Was he deliberately trying to make a fool of her?

  The warm fingers and palms of the man seemed to ignite every time they passed by.

  It was also like an electric current that struck her body. It made Su Wan’s heart beat faster, and she felt that there was something wrong with every part of her body.

  It was torture!

  Time passed by second by second. It had not been long, but Su Wan felt that it had been several lifetimes!

  She really wanted to explain that it was just a ribbon. Could he be faster? However, when she was about to speak, she saw the gloomy expression on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. Su Wan immediately shut her mouth again.

  This man’s mouth was even more poisonous than hers. Su Wan felt that she should not humiliate herself!

  When she saw that Jiang Xuecheng had finally untied the ribbon that bound her, Su Wan’s heart relaxed. She immediately wanted to stretch her limbs.

  Aunt He had given her a weak injection earlier. Although the effects of the injection had not completely dissipated, she still felt much better.

  However, before Su Wan could sit up, she saw Jiang Xuecheng give her a cold glance and started unbuttoning Su Wan’s clothes!
