Chapter 431: Splurging A Lifetime Of Good Luck
When Jiang Xuecheng found the ice pack and returned upstairs, he saw that Su Wan was indeed sitting obediently on the chair.
However, she seemed lonely and dejected, looking extremely fragile.
Jiang Xuecheng sighed in his heart. He knew that Lin Xuan was an important existence to Su Wan, and he hoped that Su Wan could overcome this hurdle as soon as possible.
Jiang Xuecheng walked over quickly. He waved the ice bag in his hand, signaling for Su Wan to cooperate.
Su Wan pursed her lips and closed her eyes quietly. Her long and thin eyelashes had long been wet from her tears. They trembled like flowers fluttering in the wind.
Only now did Jiang Xuecheng believe that women were made of water. Once they started to cry, it really was an endless stream that would flood an entire room.
Jiang Xuecheng hated women crying the most, but Su Wan was an exception.
Every time he saw Su Wan cry, his heart would only ache. He felt sad for her and wished that he could personally bear all of this for her.
A trace of love flashed in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He lowered his head and leaned Su Wan’s head back. Then, he placed the ice bag in his hand on Su Wan’s eyes.
The exceptionally cold touch made Su Wan shudder slightly.
“It’s very cold, right?”
Seeing that Su Wan was silent, Jiang Xuecheng smiled slightly. He reached out and caressed the surrounding of Su Wan’s eyes. He gently massaged the acupuncture points that could relieve the fatigue in Su Wan’s eyes.
Soon, Su Wan’s overused eyes felt a trace of comfort, and her body unconsciously relaxed.
Su Wan thought that Jiang Xuecheng was very familiar with the massage techniques, and she felt a little surprised.
“Xuecheng, have you learned how to massage before?”
Jiang Xuecheng felt relieved when he saw Su Wan was finally willing to talk, and his movements became gentler.
“When I first took over Di Chen, I was a little tired from work, so I went online and searched for videos to teach myself massaging techniques.”
Jiang Xuecheng understated it. In fact, when he first took over Di Chen, he lived a physically and mentally exhausted life.
Firstly, the board of directors saw that Jiang Xuecheng was young, so they didn’t want to discipline him. Secondly, the Jiang family had promised to let him live alone if he could prove his ability.
Therefore, Jiang Xuecheng had been working hard.
Because of some experiences when he was young, Jiang Xuecheng really hated the old house of the Jiang family. Every time he thought of his house, he felt a sense of fear of being imprisoned.
Childhood memories are always deeply rooted in a person.
Su Wan nodded and did not say anything else. Jiang Xuecheng opened the ice bag that was gradually increasing in temperature and said to Su Wan slowly.
“Wan Wan, let me find you a hot towel. Alternating between ice and hot compress can help with relaxing the eyes.”
Without waiting for Su Wan’s reply, Jiang Xuecheng walked straight to the washroom.
Su Wan opened her eyes and watched Jiang Xuecheng’s departing figure from afar. A trace of warmth rose in her heart.
In the end, she was still a lucky person.
Her greatest luck was to have met Jiang Xuecheng. She felt that all the good luck in her life had been splurged on him.
Su Wan opened her mouth silently and thanked Jiang Xuecheng as he walked away.
Jiang Xuecheng returned with a hot towel and placed Su Wan’s head on his lap. He carefully placed the towel in his hand on Su Wan’s eyes.
After Jiang Xuecheng’s cold and hot application treatment, Su Wan’s visual fatigue was greatly alleviated. Even her thoughts were much clearer.
The warmth of the towel slowly seeped into her skin, and Su Wan felt that her frozen heart was also warmed.
All of a sudden, Su Wan reached out and hugged Jiang Xuecheng’s leg.
Jiang Xuecheng was startled by Su Wan’s action. He lowered his head to ask, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong…”
Su Wan waved her hand and did not say anything. She just stubbornly hugged Jiang Xuecheng’s leg, as if she was looking for some kind of spiritual comfort.
Jiang Xuecheng understood that this was a sign that Su Wan trusted and relied on him. Moreover, at this moment, Su Wan definitely lacked a sense of security in her heart.
The corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curved up. He extended his well-defined hand and carefully stroked the messy hair on Su Wan’s forehead, smoothing them out strand by strand.
“Wan Wan, do you know that in life we will always encounter many setbacks, but we cannot be defeated by it. Everything that does not defeat you will become a stepping stone on your path of growth.”
Jiang Xuecheng had never liked corny phrases, but at this moment, he was telling Su Wan these corny phrases.
Su Wan hugged Jiang Xuecheng and said in a low voice, “I know, but the price of growth is too high.”
Because she had cried too many times, Su Wan’s originally gentle and beautiful voice was still hoarse and had a nasally tone that could not be ignored.
Jiang Xuecheng patted Su Wan’s back, and his voice became softer and softer.
“No one’s life will be smooth sailing, Wan Wan.”
Su Wan removed the towel on her face, and her slightly red eyes were fixed on Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, will you always be by my side?”
Jiang Xuecheng took the cold towel, put it aside, and stared into Su Wan’s eyes without a moment’s hesitation.
“Of course, no one can separate us, not even death.”
His eyes were burning, and his voice was sonorous. People could not help but believe him.
Su Wan took a deep breath and slowly reached out her hand.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes suddenly flashed. He did not quite understand what Su Wan meant until he heard Su Wan’s nasally voice.
“Let’s pinky swear.”
Why did it feel like crying too much lowers the intellect?
She was already a grownup, but she was actually still so childish…
Jiang Xuecheng could not help but laugh when he heard that. The corners of his lips curved, but he still quickly extended his hand.
The two pinkies intertwined, and then they stamped it with their thumbs.
Compared to Jiang Xuecheng’s indifference, Su Wan’s expression was extremely solemn, as if this was an oath that no one could shake.
“Pinky swear or hang yourself. Don’t change it for a hundred years.”
After Su Wan finished speaking, her tears finally broke into a smile. The corners of her mouth twitched, and then her expression suddenly darkened again. She buried her head in Jiang Xuecheng’s leg.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s smile just now, it was as if someone had thrown a pebble into his heart, and it continuously rippled.
On that beautiful face, there were clearly traces of tears, and her long eyelashes were still stained with water. However, that smile was like parting the clouds and seeing the sun. It shone rays of hope.
He had never liked Su Wan crying. He only liked the smile on her face.
It was so pure and clean, as if she was not tainted by the dust of the world. It made the hearts of people soften involuntarily.
Jiang Xuecheng slowly lifted Su Wan’s face and met her pair of clear eyes. He slowly lowered his head and planted a soft, feather-like kiss between Su Wan’s eyebrows.
“Wan Wan, you have to smile more.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng pulled Su Wan into his arms.
Su Wan obediently leaned against Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder. She raised her eyes and asked Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, who do you think is the person who disrupted the birthday banquet?”
It was obvious that the other party was targeting the Jiang family, especially senior master Jiang.
