Chapter 246: Unexpected Discovery
Su Wan looked down and a thought appeared in her mind.
If she were to learn the guqin, then she could make the best of it. Even if Sheng An’ning came to request for it, she could rightfully decline.
Su Wan’s eyes lit up. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng and with excitement in her voice, she said, “Xuecheng, what do you think about me learning to play the guqin?”
In the past, Su Wan’s mother wished that Su Wan would learn to play the guqin. She kept saying that Su Wan’s fingers were long and it would be a shame if she didn’t.
Now that Su Wan wished to learn the guqin. Besides using it to obstruct Sheng An’ning from asking for the Guqin, she wanted to fulfil her mother’s wish.
Hearing what Su Wan said, a dim light flashed through Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He kept looking at Su Wan with an enigmatic look.
“Wan Wan, you’re such a lazy person. Are you sure you want to learn such a complex instrument?”
Su Wan was currently thick-skinned, probably because she had been mocked a lot by Jiang Xuecheng. She snorted lightly and rolled her eyes.
“Don’t you look down upon me. In fact, when I make up my mind to do something, I can be hardworking.”
For example, during her final exam in the past, Su Wan had been very determined to cut her play time and focus on her revision. Of course, when the exam was over, she would immediately forget what she had learned and continue to be sluggish…
Jiang Xuecheng caressed Su Wan’s hair and held her hand in his to examine carefully.
“If you really wish to learn the guqin, I’ll get you the best guqin teacher. However, it will be more difficult than you might think. Remember to take good care of your fingers.”
“Yes, I will.”
Su Wan thought after her reply, Jiang Xuecheng would let go of her hand but she did not expect Jiang Xuecheng to continue holding her hand and gently write a word with his finger on her palm.
After Jiang Xuecheng was done writing, Su Wan withdrew her hand immediately.
Goodness, she thought only the side of her waist would feel ticklish but unexpectedly, she couldn’t withstand the slight friction on her palm too.
Watching Su Wan dodge, Jiang Xuecheng smirked, “Wan Wan, do you know what word I wrote?”
Su Wan shook her head. She felt ticklish just now and was unable to analyse what Jiang Xuecheng had written.
Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help laughing. He felt he had overestimated Su Wan’s IQ.
Jiang Xuecheng stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Su Wan’s shoulders. Then, he pinched Su Wan’s nose, “Foolish. You can’t even guess. It’s the word ‘Wan’.”
So, Jiang Xuecheng had written her name?
Su Wan was taken aback. Her heart couldn’t help throbbing. Looking at his handsome face from near, she blushed and planted a light kiss on his cheek.
It parted the minute it touched. Just as Su Wan drew away, Jiang Xuecheng held her body tightly.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng, puzzled. She widened her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng caressed Su Wan’s cheeks softly and looked steadily at her. With his deep voice drenched in a baffling hoarseness, he asked, “Wan Wan, are you seducing me? I’ve been enduring hard these days…”
Before waiting for Su Wan to understand Jiang Xuecheng carefully, she was pinned onto the velvet sofa by the man in front of her.
Such an irresistible domineering attitude! His thin lips pressed on hers and slowly parted her teeth, venturing into a deep kiss.
He seized her. Su Wan leaned closely on the velvet sofa. She was confused with Jiang Xuecheng’s sudden passion.
He said he had been enduring hard these days…
Su Wan thought of this sentence and her fair face was stained red. Their breath overlapped and his scorching breath almost scalded Su Wan.
Jiang Xuecheng recklessly attacked in her mouth, blurring her consciousness.
When Jiang Xuecheng let go of her, Su Wan was relieved. She took in big breaths of fresh air while leaning against Jiang Xuecheng’s embrace.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out his hands for Su Wan’s shoulders and neck. His lips went near her ears and his magnetic voice was low.
“Wan Wan, when will you feel better…if this goes on, I won’t be able to endure longer.”
Since it was Su Wan’s menses, Jiang Xuecheng naturally couldn’t have Su Wan perform her duty as a wife.
Both their distance was close. Su Wan’s nostril was filled with Jiang Xuecheng’s fresh and pleasing breath. Her heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s bashful look and let out a soft laughter. He held her hand and bent down gradually.
Su Wan withdrew her hand quickly after feeling the sudden electric shock. Her mind had been in a mess and now with Jiang Xuecheng’s shameless act, she didn’t know how to complain.
That little warmth spread from her fingers to her limbs and bones.
Su Wan turned away, afraid to look at Jiang Xuecheng. Her current mind was messy and she couldn’t calm down.
Neither spoke and the atmosphere gradually became subtle. When Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan’s neck stained with redness, he became happier and happier.
Jiang Xuecheng stretched out his hand and shifted Su Wan’s face towards him. “So, Wan Wan, can you bear seeing me alone?”
Su Wan remained in a daze and had not regained her senses. When she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words, her face was warm. It was with great difficulty that she calmed her mind.
Su Wan stared at the handsome face in front of her. She muttered with bashfulness in her eyes, “Well, it isn’t possible today anyway.”
Su Wan’s voice was low, like a wisp of breeze passing through his ears. Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and moved his head nearer to Su Wan. He immediately read between the lines.
“So, does it mean that it’s possible tomorrow?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s hot breath brushed against her face. After Su Wan regained her senses, she blushed, like a cute little tomato.
“Probably not tomorrow too. Okay, why are you thinking so much? Let’s continue with the auction.”
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at the electronic screen in front of her. She even moved toward the velvet sofa, as if wanting to keep a distance from Jiang Xuecheng.
Heaven knew, with this man by the side asking questions like these, she had no mood to listen to Helena’s explanations!
From Su Wan’s awkward look, Jiang Xuecheng got his answer. He controlled his urge to laugh and stopped teasing her.
Su Wan put her focus back on the screen. Helena, who was standing in the middle of the stage, was smiling and exhibiting the current item.
“The color of this diamond necklace is blue like the ocean, mysterious and magnificent. It’s a rare treasure.”
When the sight of this blue diamond necklace greeted Su Wan, her expression turned grave.
This was her mother’s necklace. They had once thought it was lost. How did it end up at the Lu family’s auction?
