Chapter 554: Don’t Push Your Luck

Su Wan met the the emperor’s gloomy gaze, and her voice became softer and softer.

“Yes, I admire Your Highness.”

To be precise, she loved him. But now that she thought of this sentence, it was a little ironic, so Su Wan changed her way of saying it.

The young emperor stared at Su Wan without blinking. His gaze was burning, and a trace of a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, it was a cold smile.

With an obvious hint of mockery.

From earlier, when this woman saw his face, her attitude had indeed taken a 180-degree turn.

But the emperor was sure from the bottom of his heart that Su Wan clearly did not look like she truly admired him.

Su Wan looked up at him, her clear eyes filled with fog.

“Does Your Highness not believe me?”

Su Wan felt a dull pain in her heart, as if she had been cut by a rusty knife. She was bleeding profusely, but it was not fatal.

Seeing Su Wan’s dazed look, the man’s expression darkened. For some reason, he felt even more unhappy.

He could clearly feel that as long as this woman was by his side, it was as if he had been poisoned. His usual rationality would easily go out of control.

This feeling of losing control was very bad and very dangerous.

If he kept this woman by his side, she would be like an unpredictable bomb, threatening him at any moment.

Moreover, he could not confirm at this moment whether Su Wan was a spy sent by someone with ulterior motives...

When all these things were combined, to say that it’s only a coincidence. He could not convince himself.

Even if this woman was not a spy, she clearly did not look like she admired him, yet she insisted on staying...

Was it because of his position in the God’s Palace? So she was a shallow woman?

The man’s eyes swept across Su Wan beautiful and elegant face. The meaning behind his gaze was unclear.

Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows and her almond-shaped eyes that were always filled with water were indeed very clean and beautiful.

However, he had seen many beautiful women, but no one had been able to attract him.

What if he didn’t keep this woman by his side...

A faint light flashed through the young emperor’s long and narrow eyes. He coldly glanced at Su Wan and his voice was extremely cold, like a piece of jade that had fallen to the ground.

“You can stay by my side, but you can only be a maid.”

Su Wan was stunned when she heard this.

Jiang Xuecheng wanted her to be his maid?

From a wife to a maid, not only did her identity change so quickly, but wasn’t it a little exaggerated?

Su Wan furrowed her brows and couldn’t help but laugh at herself in her heart.

When the man saw Su Wan like this, he misunderstood Su Wan’s thoughts and thought that she was hesitating because her status was too low.

“Why? You don’t want to?”

The emperor snorted. His cold, ink-colored phoenix eyes were filled with disdain.

“The God’s Palace does not keep useless people. What else can a person like you do besides being a maid?”

When she heard these words filled with obvious mockery, Su Wan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She thought to herself, “if you hadn’t lost your memory, I would have slapped you to death!”

When Jiang Xuecheng regained his memory, she would make him kneel on the washboard and slap himself 800 times!

Su Wan met his sarcastic gaze and looked at him.

Her voice was firm, without any hesitation.

“I’m willing, but there are many kinds of maids. Can I ask for a position closer to Your Highness?”

If Jiang Xuecheng sent her to some unknown corner to clean, all her efforts would be in vain!

The moon shines first on the terrace by the water. Su Wan thought that if Jiang Xuecheng could see her every day, one day he would remember her, right?

“You want to be my close maid?”

A deep voice that sounded like a cello brushed past her ears. Su Wan was about to nod when she suddenly saw the man lowering his head unknowingly, the tip of his nose touching hers.

The slightly warm breath lingered on her face.

It was so close that she suddenly felt that something was not right.

The man looked at Su Wan mockingly, his eyes as if they were immersed in a thin layer of ice.

“Do you really admire me that much?”

He deliberately emphasized the word “admire” and even paused for a moment, making Su Wan very uncomfortable when she heard it.

In fact, she was also very unhappy when she saw the face of Jiang Xuecheng.

Su Wan’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. It was not that she did not understand the his mockery, but she could not be willful at this moment.

“Yes, please give me a chance.”

Seeing Su Wan’s seemingly submissive look, the young emperor’s straight eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

However, he could not vent his anger yet, so he could only continue to mock her in a strange manner.

“Why don’t you tell me what you know that is worth me considering making you a close maid?”

Su Wan’s expression turned cold as she carefully considered if she had any skills that she could be qualified for.

“Uh, I know how to cook, and my cooking is better than the average person’s. Does this count?”

Su Wan carefully looked at the man in front of her. When it came to food, her watery eyes suddenly became a little angry.

Su Wan said that her cooking was better than the average person’s. This was not a lie.

In this era where natural food was scarce and preserved food was popular, those who could eat natural food were mostly rich people.

Therefore, this also led to the decline of many people’s cooking skills because there was no chance for them to practice!

Su Wan’s cooking skills, which could only be considered as passable at first, were instantly turned into her outstanding skills!

In the past, Su Wan’s cooking skills were far inferior to those of Jiang Xuecheng’s. However, now that Jiang Xuecheng was in such a state and couldn’t even speak Chinese, Su Wan really doubted whether he could still cook.

Moreover, wasn’t he in a high position in the God’s Palace? Would others dare to ask him to cook?

Su Wan was very doubtful.

Moreover, when she was on Earth in the past, the one in charge of cooking at home was basically Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan thought that it wouldn’t be a loss for her to change her role now.

She would just treat it as a form of nourishment for Jiang Xuecheng.

As Su Wan recalled the past, her expression became even happier. There was even a hint of a smile on her lips that she did not know was there.

The young emperor’s expression suddenly turned cold.

He hated it when Su Wan looked at him as if she was looking at another person. It was so empty with a hint of expectation, but was clearly not looking at him.

“Enough. Since you said you know how to cook, I’ll give you a chance.”

He wasn’t worried that Su Wan would poison the food. There would always be people who would examine the ingredients and finished products at the God’s Palace.

If Su Wan wanted to poison the food, she had to weigh her own consequences and whether her life was enough to pay.

When Su Wan saw that he had finally relented, she no longer cared about his cold tone.

She stared fixedly at the man’s face and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Your Highness, can I ask you for one more thing?”

The young emperor turned his head and coldly swept his gaze across Su Wan.

“I advise you to quit while you’re ahead. Don’t push your luck.”

Su Wan bit the corner of her lips and said somewhat anxiously, “this matter is very simple. Can I bring someone to live with me?”
