When the flower shop owner heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, she took the lead and stepped forward to open the glass door for them.
“Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time!”
Su Wan smiled and nodded at the proprietress, then took Jiang Xuecheng's hand and walked with him towards the Koenigsegg outside.
Jiang Xuecheng picked up the big black umbrella at the door, opened it, and tilted it slightly towards Su Wan.
When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng holding the umbrella, a faint warmth emerged in her heart, and she couldn't help but lean her head on Jiang Xuecheng's shoulder.
Jiang Xuecheng opened the passenger door of the Koenigsegg, waited until Su Wan leaned in completely, slowly closed the door, and then returned to the driver's seat.
Soon, the car rushed to Fontainebleau like an arrow.
Jiang Xuecheng hadn't said a word since leaving the flower shop. Although Jiang Xuecheng was not a talkative person, Su Wan had been with Jiang Xuecheng for a long time and could still feel that something was wrong with his mood.
Su Wan frowned, she glanced at Jiang Xuecheng's big hands that were firmly controlling the steering wheel, and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Xuecheng, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something? Are you worried about finding the mastermind behind the shooting?"
Jiang Xuecheng was slightly stunned when he heard Su Wan's concerned words, and his hands on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.
There was a red light ahead, so Jiang Xuecheng slowed down, braked quickly, and stopped smoothly.
"I hate rainy days, especially this kind of continuous rain."
ah
When Su Wan heard this willful reason, her forehead couldn't help but twitch.
The original worries in her heart could not help but dissipate a little. She looked out the window. The twilight was hazy, and sparse raindrops condensed on the window. Everything was blurred.
Su Wan nodded thoughtfully, feeling somewhat disappointed.
It seems that when it rains for too long, people's hearts can't help but become depressed.
"Indeed, I prefer sunny days, but I heard that a typhoon will hit S City in a few days."
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan's clear almond eyes. He was stunned, and a bit of trance appeared in his eyes.
“Yes, a typhoon is coming…”
Just as Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were sighing with emotion, the green light ahead came on. Jiang Xuecheng quickly calmed down, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the Koenigsegg away at high speed.
…
Because they had stayed in the rain for an entire afternoon, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng's clothes were still half wet when they returned to Fontainebleau.
As soon as they opened the door, they found Aunt Fang was still there, cleaning the living room with a rag.
When Aunt Fang heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately looked up, looked at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, and then greeted them with a smile.
"Master, Madam, you are back."
"Aunt Fang, where is my grandpa?"
Su Wan smiled at Aunt Fang and changed into a pair of slippers.
Aunt Fang put down the rag in her hand, stretched out her right hand and pointed towards the guest room upstairs.
"After Professor Xie drank the ginger soup, he still felt a little dizzy, so he went to sleep in the guest room upstairs."
Su Wan nodded and looked towards the guest room upstairs: "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Fang. You have worked so hard for so long, so go back first."
"This is what I should do, I will leave first..."
Aunt Fang smiled and shook her head. When she was about to change her shoes, she looked closely at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, whose clothes and hair were wet by the rain, and her brows couldn't help but frown.
"Master, Madam, I have boiled a lot of ginger soup in the kitchen. You can heat it up before drinking it. Then go change your clothes, otherwise you will catch a cold easily."
"OK."
When Su Wan heard Aunt Fang's caring words, she liked her even more.
…
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
Jiang Xuecheng took a towel and gently and carefully wiped Su Wan's hair which still had some water stains.
"Grandpa... is he planning to go back to City A the next day? Why not stay a little longer?"
Su Wan was enjoying Jiang Xuecheng's service, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
"I also want him to stay a little longer, but grandpa has a stubborn temper and may not listen to me."
As Su Wan spoke, an uncontrollable bitterness emerged in her heart.
My grandfather has lived in City A for nearly twenty years and has long regarded it as his second hometown. Coupled with what happened in City S, he probably feels that this place has become a sad place.
The sad place brought back sad memories, so Xie Changfeng would rather return to the empty house in City A and guard his manuscript.
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes fell on Su Wan, and a soft light appeared in his eyes.
"Then let's find a nanny for him. Grandpa lives alone in City A, so it's always better to have one more person to take care of him."
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng's proposal, Su Wan's eyes suddenly lit up and she took a deep breath.
"Your idea coincides with mine! Well, I plan to find another nanny for grandpa, so that if anything happens, we can be notified immediately."
After Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng drank the ginger soup, they soon felt tired after a whole day of work.
The two hugged each other quietly, pulled up the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
I heard that tomorrow will be a sunny day, I hope everything will be fine.
…
The next day, when Su Wan woke up, Jiang Xuecheng was no longer around.
Su Wan rubbed her sleepy eyes. Perhaps because she was too tired, she slept particularly soundly. When she woke up this morning, she felt extremely relaxed.
Su Wan lifted the quilt, changed into the clothes that had been prepared long ago, put on her shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
What surprised Su Wan was that before she went downstairs, she saw Xie Changfeng sitting in the living room.
Xie Changfeng sat on the sofa with a lit cigarette in his hand. The curling smoke swirled around his fingertips. As he puffed out smoke, his old face became increasingly hazy.
Didn’t grandpa quit smoking a long time ago
Jiang Xuecheng doesn't smoke either, so how come there's something like this in Fontainebleau? !
Xie Changfeng is old, and smoking too much can easily damage his lungs and is very bad for his health.
How could grandpa not take care of his health
Su Wan suddenly frowned, walked down the stairs quickly, and ran straight towards Xie Changfeng.
"Grandpa, didn't you promise grandma to quit smoking a long time ago? Why are you smoking again?"
When Xie Changfeng heard Su Wan's anxious voice, he slowly raised his head. He stared at Su Wan, his voice a little hoarse.
"Awan, good morning."
Su Wan was holding back her anger, and suddenly she noticed that Xie Changfeng's eyes were a little red. She felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her, cooling her down from head to toe.
Su Wan straightened her mind and took back the words of advice that were about to come out of her mouth. She looked down and glanced at what Xie Changfeng was holding in his hand.
When she was looking at it upstairs, she thought it was a thick book, but when she looked closer, she found that it was the photo album she had placed in the living room the day before.
The page that Xie Changfeng turned to happened to be a group photo.
There is Lin Xuan, and also her parents who have passed away long ago...
