Chapter 221: An Appalling Discovery

Su Wan knew Lin Fei’er liked trying out little things and for a period of time, she especially liked to buy perfumes.

By right, Lin Fei’er should like this Secluded Orchid In A Deserted Valley, a limited edition perfume, but why did she look like she had seen a ghost?

Lin Fei’er quickly covered the lid and looked at Su Wan steadily. There was anxiousness in her voice.

“Who gave you this bottle of perfume?”

Su Wan was taken aback. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng, who was standing at the window looking at the scenery, before she answered Lin Fei’er’s question.

There were complicated emotions in the bottom of her eyes as she replied softly, “Do you still remember me telling you about Ms. Sheng An’ning back then?

“Jiang Xuecheng’s childhood friend? The one who looks like you?”

The minute Su Wan’s voice died down, a cold light flashed through Lin Fei’er’s eyes.

Her voice was not loud but Jiang Xuecheng heard what she said. He turned around slowly and looked at Su Wan and Lin Fei’er, unsure of why they had suddenly mentioned his name.

At the thought of how Lin Fei’er described Sheng An’ning, Jiang Xuecheng’s brows knitted and felt he had to explain.

“Ms. Lin, Sheng An’ning was a little sister I grew up with. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”

When Jiang Xuecheng’s low voice entered her ears, a cold smile appeared on Lin Fei’er’s face.

She didn’t believe in brother-sisterhood. Li Peng and Yang Xiaobing was a clear proof.

Of course, Lin Fei’er would not doubt Jiang Xuecheng’s and Su Wan’s relationship. She was Su Wan’s best friend and naturally wished Su Wan would have a smooth sailing love life.

“The little sister you mentioned gave Wan this bottle of perfume. Do you know what ingredients are in it?”

When Jiang Xuecheng heard Lin Fei’er’s question, his face was cloudy and uncertain. He walked towards Su Wan quickly, raised his brows, and asked, “What are they?”

Stunned, Su Wan looked at Lin Fei’er. Lin Fei’er had only taken a few sniffs, how could she determine the ingredients?

Could Fei’er have learnt how to produce perfume?

Lin Fei’er sneered coldly. She held the bottle of perfume high up and her voice was as cold as ice.

“If I’m not mistaken, this bottle of perfume contains a lot of natural musk and I’m afraid it has plenty of other ingredients added too.”

Su Wan was in a trance. She took the glass perfume bottle from Lin Fei’er. She was not familiar with perfume but knew that musk was an essential ingredient in most of the women’s perfumes.

The large amount might be due to the need of producing this perfume. Was there something complicated about this?

In front of Lin Fei’er, Su Wan liked to be direct. She blinked and voiced out her uncertainties.

“Fei’er, isn’t musk a common ingredient in perfume? What’s the problem?”

Lin Fei’er looked at Su Wan. Her eyes were cold and her pretty face was tight. Her mood was obviously not right.

“In general, perfumes are made with artificial musk and not natural musk.”

When Lin Fei’er saw that Su Wan was still confused, she looked at Jiang Xuecheng. She saw his forehead creased deeply and knew that Jiang Xuecheng understood the main point.

Lin Fei’er shifted her eyes away from Jiang Xuecheng but the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed.

“Your CEO should understand this. Let him explain to you.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s brows knitted tighter. He was silent for a moment and finally started to explain to Su Wan.

“Wan Wan, if one inhales too much natural musk, there’s a risk of infertility and if one is pregnant, one might easily suffer from a miscarriage.”

When Lin Fei’er heard Jiang Xuecheng’s explanation, there was a trace of desolation and sadness in her eyes. She was now deprived of the hope of being a mother, hence she paid special attention to such things.

She didn’t want Su Wan to meet with such a bad fate one day.

Su Wan trembled. She gaped and for a moment, didn’t know what to say.

The man’s clear and magnetic voice went into Su Wan’s ears and that moment, it was like rain in winter, sending a chill through Su Wan’s body.

That chill was spreading fast into her limbs and bones.

Feeling lost, she stared at the bluish-purple bottle in her hand. The exquisite glass bottle reflected the sparkling liquid inside. It was beautiful.

It was such a small bottle. Could it have such terrible side effects?

Su Wan liked the innocent and bright faces of children. As she thought, her hands trembled vigorously and the glass bottle slipped from her hand towards the ground.

Luckily, Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes and hands were quick and alert. He caught the bottle immediately and prevented it from spilling on the ground.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at the perfume bottle in his hand. A complicated light flashed through his dark eyes that instant.

If what Lin Fei’er said was true, then Sheng An’ning had terrible intentions!

Although Jiang Xuecheng didn’t like Sheng An’ning, he had never thought the girl whom he had grown up with could have such vicious plans.

Jiang Xuecheng’s lips were pursed into a cold and hard straight line. He looked at Su Wan and no one could guess the emotions in his deep eyes.

“Wan Wan, wait for me here. I’ll get someone to test the ingredients of this perfume.”

They were now in Zhao Hua Hospital and it would be easier to get a chemistry professor to extract and identify the ingredients of Secluded Orchid In A Deserted Valley.

Su Wan raised her head and her gaze met the man’s cold eyes. Her heart tightened slightly as she replied, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s deep and sharp eyes lingered on Su Wan for half a second before he nodded and walked towards the door.

When Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng disappearing from the door, she stared blankly. She lowered her eyes and was deep in thought.

“Fei’er, how were you able to differentiate natural musk and artificial musk?”

Su Wan did not doubt Lin Fei’er’s sincerity toward her. She was merely frightened. She like the smell of Secluded Orchid In A Deserted Valley perfume but if she were to use it, she might be unable to get pregnant in the future...

Su Wan’s shoulders shuddered uncontrollably. She took a few deep breaths before she managed to stabilize her emotions.

A concern flashed through Lin Fei’er’s big dark eyes. She held Su Wan’s hand, trying to give her some strength.

Lin Fei’er pursed her lips slightly and told her the reason briefly.

“You know how I was obsessed with perfumes at one time? Coincidentally, I was thinking of ideas for my novel on the struggles and competition among concubines. So, I had someone explain to me about the nature of musk and learned the difference between natural and artificial musk...”

Su Wan frowned slightly. She turned around and looked steadily at the shut door of the ward.

When would Jiang Xuecheng return?

What test results would he bring back?
