Chapter 627 - Realistic Illusion
Chapter 627: Realistic Illusion
In the cheerful and beautiful dance music, when she suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng’s question, Su Wan was so scared that she almost fell backward!
However, behind Su Wan was a pool of blue lake water. If she really fell there, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuecheng quickly pulled her back.
“What, did I guess correctly?”
He had only asked one question, but Su Wan was so guilty that she almost stumbled backwards!
Thinking of how much this woman treasured that ring, the emperor felt a thorn in his heart.
He really couldn’t be involved in Su Wan’s past. He missed what he missed. But now, Su Wan still had someone else in her heart, which made this arrogant emperor extremely unhappy.
Hearing the sarcastic voice of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan suddenly raised her head.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her deeply. There was only probing in his eyes, which was even sharper than an eagle’s. He stared at Su Wan until she almost couldn’t breathe!
Was Jiang Xuecheng jealous of him now?
This thought suddenly appeared in her mind, which made Su Wan feel awkward and embarrassed in her heart.
Her initially slightly bitter emotions had now become slightly sweet.
Actually, this was not bad. At least, it meant that after Jiang Xuecheng lost his memory, he could not help but care about her, and he would even be jealous of her. Just thinking about it made her feel a little funny.
“What are you laughing at?”
The man looked down at Su Wan. Seeing that not only was this woman not afraid, but she even curved the corners of her lips into a happy expression, his heart felt even more uncomfortable.
Su Wan smiled and looked up at Jiang Xuecheng. Suddenly, she wanted to test Jiang Xuecheng’s emotions.
“Your Highness, actually, I don’t remember where this ring came from. But once, I had a dream. I dreamed that you personally designed it for me, and it was a pair of rings. In the dream, you also had one…”
Su Wan lied half-truths, just to see if she could get Jiang Xuecheng to recall some of his memories.
This wedding ring was indeed given to her by the man in front of her, and it was indeed a pair of rings.
Seeing how Su Wan spoke so matter-of-factly, the emperor suddenly frowned.
–is this woman treating me like a three-year-old child?
How dare she put such a strange plot on me!
Moreover, Su Wan said that she did not know the origin of the ring, but from his point of view, Su Wan was obviously lying!
Thinking that the ring might have been given to Su Wan by another man, the man became more and more frustrated.
“Enough! Do you think I’m easy to fool?”
Su Wan looked at the tightly furrowed brows of Jiang Xuecheng and finally realized that not only did she fail to bring back memories of Jiang Xuecheng, she also made him even more unhappy.
Su Wan’s heart was burning with anxiety, and she blurted it out without thinking.
“I’m not lying. You really gave me this ring! And this ring is from a pair!”
Seeing that Su Wan was still stubborn, the man’s frown deepened. But for some reason, he could not help but let go of Su Wan and looked at the ring finger on his left hand.
It was as if there was a ring-shaped cold metal on that slender and distinct knuckle. It looked similar to the ring on Su Wan’s ring finger.
The design of the ring was basically the same as the one Su Wan was wearing at the moment, except that the ring holder was more simple and elegant. If it was not for Su Wan’s comparison, it would be almost impossible to tell that the ring holder on the male ring was also in the shape of a flower.
Why did he have such an illusion?
Even the shape and pattern of the ring were clearly conceived in such a short time?
The man’s eyes deepened, and his breathing suddenly quickened.
Su Wan thought that Jiang Xuecheng did not believe her, so she added embarrassedly, “But that was in a dream.”
The muffled female voice brushed past his ears, immediately breaking the man’s previous illusion.
The emperor pursed his lips. When he looked carefully, there was no silver ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
He had indeed gone mad. He could even connect the shape of a ring to Su Wan’s joke.
The emperor shifted his gaze to Su Wan’s hand and then stared at the ring on her hand.
The pattern of the male ring in his imagination became more and more blurry. However, in just a dozen seconds, he could not remember clearly.
The man frowned imperceptibly and threw the thought to the back of his mind.
He had never had the habit of wearing a ring, let alone designing one. Perhaps he had only seen some men’s rings somewhere, and now he was suddenly imagining them.
After throwing away that strange thought, the man’s expression became much calmer, he looked at Su Wan with a serious look in his eyes.
“Do you know how to dance?”
Su Wan was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she could not help but look at Jiang Xuecheng in surprise.
She had initially thought that Jiang Xuecheng was angry and had ignored her for so long. Now, did Jiang Xuecheng mean to invite her to dance?!
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng had finally stopped caring about the ring, Su Wan was overjoyed. Her clear almond-shaped eyes were sparkling.
“I–”
Su Wan was ready to nod her head valiantly, but her momentum quickly weakened.
“Uh, I guess so…”
Su Wan’s figure looked delicate, but for some reason, her dancing was so stiff. She had never had any etiquette training when she was young.
She had only danced with Jiang Xuecheng once at the wedding banquet.
The most embarrassing thing was that she had stomped on Jiang Xuecheng’s feet during that dance. Fortunately, Jiang Xuecheng did not care about it.
However, Jiang Xuecheng did not remember her now. He might not have the patience to teach her how to dance like before, and at the same time, he had to endure being stomped on by her heels.
Su Wan’s mind was full of thoughts. Her face, which was originally full of fighting spirit, collapsed instantly. She was like a defeated kitten, which was extremely adorable.
“What do you mean by ‘guess so’?”
Two rays of light flashed through the man’s narrow and long phoenix eyes. He was very interested in Su Wan’s defeated expression.
Su Wan thought that if Jiang Xuecheng really wanted to dance, and her dancing skills were terrible, would Jiang Xuecheng choose another dance partner?
When she thought of that possibility, Su Wan felt a wave of horror in her heart.
No, no, no. She did not want to see Jiang Xuecheng dance with another woman.
In the face of love, Su Wan knew that she could be selfish, but she was not prepared to change.
Su Wan carefully looked at Jiang Xuecheng. Her almond-shaped eyes were mixed with a very subtle expression, and there was even a hint of flattery.
“Hey, do you mind if your partner steps on you while dancing…”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips curved into a smile.
This answer was far beyond her expectations.
However, this was not a bad thing. At least, it proved that Su Wan lacked the opportunity to train with others.
“I’ll teach you.”
These three words contained a mischievous smile, but it made Su Wan suddenly feel happy!
“Ah, do you really not mind–”
Before Su Wan finished her sentence, a slender hand reached out towards her and wrapped around her back in an extremely overbearing manner!
Su Wan was shocked and wasn’t ready. Her whole person was brought to the dance floor by Jiang Xuecheng.
