In a small studio on the same floor.
Su Wan stood in silence for a second with the man who had dragged her in.
The man wore a brand new black, gray, and white uniform. His leather shoes were shiny, and the buttons on his sleeves were buttoned up meticulously. He had a very strict temperament.
But no matter how she looked at him, he did not look like a waiter.
Su Wan looked at him from head to toe. She stared at his pure black eyes and asked hesitantly, âAre you Ming Ye?â.
âYou are Ming Ye, right?â
Although the color of his pupils had changed and the makeup on his face seemed to have changed a lot, Ming Yeâs body shape was similar to that of Jiang Xuecheng. Such an exaggerated height was also very eye-catching among the crowd.
Ming Ye raised his eyebrows, but he did not ask Su Wan how she recognized him.
âItâs me.â
Su Wan recalled what Diya had said earlier, and she looked Ming Ye up and down again.
âDid you take the same elevator with the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, and the elevator broke down? Are you okay?â
Ming Ye nodded lightly.
âIf Iâm not okay, then the person standing in front of you now wouldnât be me.â
Su Wan nodded her head blankly. Because she had heard that she was infected with the virus earlier, her heart was in a mess, and she was unable to divert too much of her attention to Ming Ye.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She glanced at Ming Yeâs completely unfamiliar and extremely unrecognizable face, and finally managed to suppress the panic in her heart and asked Ming Ye softly.
âMing Ye, why did you come here?â
Su Wan paused and finally reminded Ming Ye out of kindness.
âI know that you have a deep hatred with the high priest, but itâs very dangerous here. I suggest that you donât act rashly.â
Ming Ye looked at Su Wanâs troubled and distracted look and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
In fact, the first thought that came to his mind today was not to seek revenge from the high priest, but to see Su Wan.
After the departure from the airport, Ming Ye realized that the few days he spent with Su Wan seemed to have been inexplicably imprinted on his heart.
Su Wanâs mischievous smile when she was harpooning the fish, Su Wanâs panicked and tearful face, and Su Wanâs occasional concern.
He clearly knew that she had never belonged to him and would never belong to him, yet he still inexplicably wanted to see her.
He had never thought of fighting for anything.
He just wanted to make sure that Su Wan was doing well.
Since Su Wan wanted to leave this place so badly and had spent so much effort to escape, why did she suddenly want to return to the Godâs Palace?!
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Ming Yeâs mind. His thin lips opened, and his voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.
âDonât worry. Iâm only here to check on the high priestâs situation. I wonât act rashly unless Iâm confident.â
Su Wan nodded absentmindedly. She looked out the open window at the blue sky outside.
âThatâs good.â
Ming Yeâs gaze was locked on Su Wan.
âSu Wan, what about you? Didnât you want to leave this place wholeheartedly? Why did you come back all of a sudden?â
He had also heard that today, Su Wan seemed to be engaged to Jiang Xuecheng. It was no wonder that the eldest daughter of the Siswell family was crying like that.
At that time, when they met at the airport, Su Wan had said that she and the Emperor had already gone their separate ways. Looking at the situation now, the two of them were going to get back together?
Su Wan was thinking about her own worries when she heard Ming Yeâs voice. She turned her face slightly.
âI had some misunderstandings with my husband, and now that Iâve explained more or less, Iâve come back.â
Hearing Su Wan refer to Jiang Xuecheng as her husband again, a trace of bitterness flashed through Ming Yeâs throat. He nodded his head faintly.
âLooking at you, he should treat you well, right? Then I wish you happiness.â
After realizing that he seemed to like Su Wan, he had never thought of expressing anything to her, let alone fighting for it.
He was not a person who could give others happiness. Some things were better buried in the bottom of his heart and not be said.
Ming Yeâs voice sounded in her ears. Su Wan suddenly struggled out of her trance and nodded lightly at Ming Ye.
âThank you.â
Su Wan recalled that Ming Ye revealed that he had a deep relationship with the high priest. When she thought of the poison in her body, she could not help but feel hopeful.
Perhaps Ming Ye would know something about it?
âMing Ye, have you heard of CHK Virus No.3?â
As she spoke, Su Wanâs almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright. Her eyes could not help but reveal some hope.
The scariest thing was the unknown.
Jiang Xuecheng had to hide things from her and even argued with the high priest so much. Su Wan was not an idiot. She already had a premonition that this virus might be very dangerous.
For example, it could threaten her life.
Otherwise, Jiang Xuecheng would not be so flustered.
CHK Virus No.3?!
Ming Ye heard Su Wan mention this virus and his eyes suddenly locked.
âWhy are you asking this? Do you have this virus in your body?â
Because thinking of this possibility of Su Wan being harmed, Ming Yeâs usually cold expression couldnât help but reveal a bit of nervousness.
However, Su Wan had something on her mind at this time, so she didnât notice Ming Yeâs strange expression.
Thinking of how Jiang Xuecheng hid those things from her, he must have his own reasons.
Su Wan didnât want anyone else to worry about her, so she pretended to be relaxed and shook her head at Ming Ye.
âItâs not me. It just so happens that someone around me was infected with this virus. It seems to be very scary, so I want to know the inside story, but I have no way to find out.â
As Su Wan said this, she carefully glanced at Ming Ye.
âMing Ye, looking at you, do you know something?â
Ming Ye observed Su Wan without blinking, as if he was trying to tell if Su Wan was lying to him.
If Su Wan was infected with this virus...
Ming Ye clenched his fists tightly, and his deep eyes flashed with a cold light.
âItâs good that it wasnât you. Actually, I donât know much about CHK Virus No.3. When I left the control of the high priest, they were studying CHK Virus No.2, mainly doing experiments on animals.â
Su Wan was slightly disappointed when she heard that. However, it was called the CHK Virus No.3 after all. It must be related to the previous two generations.
Su Wan held a glimmer of hope and continued to ask Ming Ye.
âThen, how do the small animals that were infected with the Virus No. 2 behave? Will they... will they die?â
When Su Wan said the words âwill they die,â her palms could not help but feel cold.
She still had a lot of things to do. She had just reconciled with Jiang Xuecheng. She still wanted to bring Jiang Xuecheng back to her familiar hometown.
If she was going to die like this, there were too many things that she had not finished yet.
Su Wan did not want to leave so many regrets in her life. She also did not want to leave Jiang Xuecheng alone.
She wanted to live.
Live well, together with Jiang Xuecheng.
