It was not that there were no benefits to working as a freelancer. At the very least, there was no need to work from nine to five every day. The working hours could be self-arranged and were more flexible.
Su Wan’s dark almond-shaped eyes flashed with a faint light. She shivered and said solemnly.
“Fei’er, are you free next Wednesday?”
When Su Wan’s serious tone fell into her ears, Lin Fei’er immediately straightened her back in shock.
“I just finished my last novel two days ago, and the online shop has entered its off-season. I’m free almost every day. I’m afraid of what you’re saying. Is something wrong again?”
Hearing that, Su Wan burst into laughter. For some reason, an image appeared in her mind, that Lin Fei’er was quietly tucked into the corner of her blanket and she was looking at herself nervously.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s a good thing. I want to treat you to a meal at Tangerine Isle next Wednesday, but you have to bring a bunch of family members with you.”
Su Wan sounded relaxed, but Lin Fei’er immediately understood what she meant.
“I have to meet the parents so soon…”
Lin Fei’er gulped and muttered to her phone subconsciously.
As someone who had experienced it before, Su Wan naturally understood Lin Fei’er’s anxiety at this moment.
Back when she returned to the Jiang family’s old mansion with Jiang Xuecheng for the first time, she always felt like she had a little rabbit in her arms and couldn’t sit still.
Su Wan smiled and comforted Lin Fei’er slowly.
“You’ve already agreed to Jiang Haoxuan’s proposal, and Aunty has also agreed. Isn’t it only a matter of time for both parties to meet each others’ parents? It’s better if it’s earlier.”
Lin Fei’er was not comforted at all by these words. She looked at the obvious wound on her arm and subconsciously pulled the white gauze around her neck.
“But I’ve been injured for the past two days. How can I go out and meet people? I don’t even have an image anymore…”
Su Wan was reminded by Lin Fei’er and forced herself not to laugh out loud.
She evilly thought that when Lin Fei’er met the parents for the first time, she would probably never forget it.
But then again, her shoulder was still wrapped in gauze. She did not dare to wear a skirt for the past two days. She was wearing a white shirt.
“I still have Haoxuan to accompany you. Moreover, your injury isn’t on your face. Don’t be afraid. Can’t you just ignore it?”
Lin Fei’er’s face was gloomy, and she almost felt sorry for herself.
“That’s true, but I…”
What girl didn’t care about her image? Moreover, this meeting was special.
Suddenly, Su Wan heard the sound of the door being opened from outside. She was startled and immediately interrupted Lin Fei’er’s words.
“Alright, alright. Don’t think too much. It’s settled then. Next Wednesday night, we’ll have dinner at Tangerine Isle. It’s best if you bring Uncle and Aunty along too!”
Su Wan put down her phone. The door had already been opened, and a handsome face that she had expected was reflected in her eyes.
Other than Jiang Xuecheng, no one else would come to her office without knocking.
Su Wan’s gaze shifted to the bag in Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. She was curious about what was inside?
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and asked Jiang Xuecheng, “what’s that?”
Jiang Xuecheng walked over indifferently. He removed the slightly messy things on Su Wan’s desk and placed the bag on it.
“I was in a hurry to visit grandmother this morning, so I didn’t have time to change your dressing. Let me change it for you now.”
Su Wan nodded in realization. Suddenly, she saw Jiang Xuecheng walking toward the window on the side and closing the curtains, blocking the view of the people outside.
Since she had to change the dressing, she had to take off her shirt as well. Su Wan immediately spoke to Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, lock the door behind you.”
“No need. They won’t come in.”
Su Wan thought about it and agreed. She walked to the sofa and slowly unbuttoned her shirt.
There was a white gauze wrapped around Su Wan’s left shoulder. There were some dried blood stains on it, but it didn’t look as scary as before.
Half of her clothes were unbuttoned, revealing more than half of her lustrous shoulders. Her face was slightly lowered, and her delicate features looked like a painting.
This scene was too beautiful. Jiang Xuecheng suddenly thought of a poem from someone close to him.
The gentlest thing was the lowering one’s head, it does not compare the shyness of the cold wind.
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes, which were as deep as the night, were filled with brilliance.
Su Wan was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Xuecheng was still in a daze. She immediately waved at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Come over quickly. It’s inconvenient for me to remove the gauze.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded. His expression was slightly restrained. He picked up the bag of medicine and sat down beside Su Wan.
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and touched Su Wan’s left shoulder. His slender fingers carefully began to remove the gauze for Su Wan.
“Does it still hurt?”
Jiang Xuecheng saw the faint traces of blood on the gauze. His eyes were filled with an unconcealable pain.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s just a little itchy. It’s probably scabbing.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s fingers lingered on her shoulder. Su Wan looked at his handsome face, which was just inches away from her, and her face suddenly turned red.
Su Wan simply did not say anything. In fact, she felt that the atmosphere was already weird enough. If she closed all the curtains, people who did not know might still…
Su Wan shook her head and quickly dismissed the thoughts that had just appeared in her mind.
Su Wan could not help but spit at herself in her heart. Since when did the things in her head become more and more strange.
Jiang Xuecheng threw away the old gauze into the trash can. He looked at Su Wan’s left shoulder, which had been completely scabbed, and his eyes deepened.
“Seems to be recovering very well.”
Su Wan turned her head in surprise and saw that the wound on her left shoulder had indeed been completely scabbed. It seemed that it would heal in less than two days.
Logically speaking, although her injury yesterday was not serious, it should not have healed so quickly.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng. She frowned and spoke hesitantly.
“I don’t know when, but my recovery suddenly increased. Last time, I accidentally cut my hand in the kitchen. Two days later, I could not find any traces of the wound.”
In the past, Su Wan had suffered a flesh wound, so how could she recover so quickly? Moreover, there wasn’t even a trace of the scar!
“Is that so? This is a good thing.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart sank when he heard that. An incident flashed through his mind. After Su Wan drank his blood, she fell into a coma for a long time, and then the scars on her body completely disappeared.
Jiang Xuecheng never believed in supernatural powers. However, these small matters had always tied a knot in his heart.
“Wan Wan, let me change the dressing for you.”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. He picked up the medicine and slowly applied it on the spot where Su Wan’s scab had formed. After he was done, he used a clean bandage to bandage Su Wan again.
After applying the medicine, Su Wan was about to put on her clothes again when Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stopped her. Then, he sat down slanting and placed one of his legs on Su Wan’s.
Su Wan raised her head in surprise. She looked at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression.
This posture was a little…
Su Wan didn’t know if she was overthinking, but she felt that something was wrong.
“Xuecheng, get up. Let me put on my clothes first.”
Jiang Xuecheng leaned over and touched the tip of Su Wan’s nose with the tip of his nose. His dark eyes were bottomless.
“Wan Wan, what do you think about going at it here?”
