Chapter 685: Determination

Determination

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his thin lips into a straight line, his expression extremely unsightly.

Because Su Wan had suddenly appeared, and he had been busy drawing the draft, he had momentarily forgotten to hide the ring properly.

In the end, he had been discovered by Su Wan just like that...

Su Wan had never thought that Jiang Xuecheng would actually dare to steal it. Yesterday, Jiang Xuecheng had lied to her that he had nothing to do with losing the ring, but today, she discovered it on Jiang Xuecheng’s table!

This man really was something!

Su Wan was furious and instantly forgot about the male ring. She stared at Jiang Xuecheng angrily without blinking.

“Didn’t you say that you didn’t know where my ring is? Now I’ve caught you red-handed?! You are the one who took my ring, aren’t you?”

Jiang Xuecheng was already in a bad mood today. Now that he heard Su Wan’s questioning tone, his face became even more sullen.

“You...” his cold voice spilled out of his thin lips and was filled with anger.

“So what if I am?”

Su Wan did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng, who she had caught with her own eyes, would still have a confident expression.

He was so arrogant that he did not even care about his face anymore...

“You–”

Su Wan was so angry that she had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat. However, due to their current identity problems, she actually did not know how to flare up.

Jiang Xuecheng raised the ring in his hand. He was much taller than Su Wan, so Su Wan could not reach him at all.

“You want this ring, don’t you?”

The man’s eyes were deep as he spoke. His handsome and flawless face looked even more breathtaking under the light.

At this moment, Su Wan was not in the mood to admire Jiang Xuecheng’s beauty. She stared at the silver-white radiance in Jiang Xuecheng’s palm and nodded her head vigorously.

“Of course!”

That was something that Jiang Xuecheng had given to her. Even if the designer was him, it had already long been hers. It was simply infuriating that Jiang Xuecheng took it without saying a word.

“You can take this ring, but first, explain to me what the words carved on this ring mean!”

Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. A strong sense of disbelief welled up in her heart!

“You know about it?!”

Normally, the words carved on a wedding ring were carved on the inside of the ring, but this was not the case for her and Jiang Xuecheng’s wedding ring.

In the middle of the diamond flower, there was a circle of love. There were only two tiny words in the heart. Her female ring had the name of Jiang Xuecheng, while Jiang Xuecheng’s male ring had her name.

It was difficult to see those two words with the human eye alone. One had to use something like a magnifying glass to find out the secret.

Therefore, Su Wan felt that Jiang Xuecheng had recovered a little of his memory?

Otherwise, how could he find the place where the words were carved?

When she thought of this, Su Wan felt uneasy and could not hold back her excitement. Her heart was like a bottle of mixed emotions, filled with fear and secret joy.

If it had been a few days ago, Su Wan would have been happier than anyone else if Jiang Xuecheng had regained his memories.

However, ever since she lost her child, Su Wan felt dejected.

Even if Jiang Xuecheng remembered everything, would it turn into double the pain?

The two of them were actually not qualified parents.

Su Wan’s joy instantly disappeared from the corner of her lips and turned into bitterness.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw the complicated expression on Su Wan’s face, he mistook it for a guilty conscience.

“Are you guilty? What does that mean?”

Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan without blinking. It was as if a thin silver needle had pierced into his heart. He felt an indescribable pain.

Under the quiet light, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stood in silence for a second before she finally spoke.

“Do you really want to know?”

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other. Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was conflicted and painful.

Even her palms were unknowingly dripping with sweat.

When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng questioning her, she suddenly wanted to tell him everything, but would Jiang Xuecheng believe her?

The gaze of the man in front of her was as cold as ice. Not only was it cold on the surface, but his heart was also cold.

Su Wan felt a sudden pain in her heart.

Actually, ever since she lost her child with Jiang Xuecheng, it was not only Jiang Xuecheng who did not believe her. She did not dare to believe this man either.

It was not that she did not want to believe him, but she did not dare to believe him.

He had clearly promised to protect the safety of mother and child no matter what the outcome was.

But in the end?

Su Wan did not know what kind of threat the high priest had posed to Jiang Xuecheng, but even if she knew, she would not forgive him.

Because their child would never come back to life.

Su Wan’s eyes turned gray. Her originally clear eyes had lost focus and were extremely empty.

Su Wan lowered her head, not wanting Jiang Xuecheng to see her heartache.

“That ring has my nickname carved in an ancient language from my hometown. Very few people know about it now.”

“You’re lying!”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was cold. He almost subconsciously refuted Su Wan’s words.

If it was engraved with Su Wan’s own name, then why was this woman so secretive and hesitant?

Su Wan was stunned. She also knew that her expression just now could not be hidden from Jiang Xuecheng, but other than this explanation, she could not think of a more reasonable explanation.

Just as Su Wan was about to continue making up stories, she suddenly heard an even colder voice in the air.

“I bet it’s a token of love from some wild man. His name is on it?!”

Jiang Xuecheng looked at her indifferently. His eyes were dark and filled with a strong sense of pressure.

That kind of aura was like a storm coming, making it hard for people to breathe.

Su Wan’s face froze. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but her hands could not help but clench.

She did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would directly guess this. She did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would humiliate himself in such a disguised way!

“He is not some wild man!”

Su Wan was angry. Her words without thinking further confirmed Jiang Xuecheng’s guess.

As expected!

The man’s face darkened. His gaze was fixed on Su Wan.

Su Wan also looked back at him without backing down. Her expression was as stubborn as a small beast.

“Are you indirectly admitting it?”

When Su Wan heard that, her face instantly turned pale. She did not expect that she would be tricked by Jiang Xuecheng in a moment of impulse!

“No–”

Su Wan still wanted to struggle to explain, but Jiang Xuecheng seemed to be flustered and exasperated. He no longer wanted to listen to Su Wan’s perfunctory explanation.

He quickly walked to the window. With a wave of his hand, that silver-white dot of light instantly fell from Jiang Xuecheng’s hand!

“No!”

Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened!

She stared in disbelief at Jiang Xuecheng’s action of throwing the ring. She felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, and her mind was buzzing with noise!

Su Wan was angry and afraid. She did not have the time to scold Jiang Xuecheng. Instead, she took big strides and subconsciously rushed to the window!

But it was too late. She could only see the ring falling vertically.

The ring shone in the sunlight, but it was so lonely...
