Chapter 543: A Long Awaited Reunion
Thinking of that possibility, a trace of absent-mindedness flashed across Su Wan’s clear almond-shaped eyes.
Su Wan reached out her hand to brush the exquisite box containing the f.u.xi-style Guqin and sighed silently.
Regardless of whether Jiang Xuecheng remembered her or not, she had to find him. As for the worst-case scenario, she would at most spend some time to get Jiang Xuecheng to recognise her.
Even with lost memories, human feelings should not change, right?
Su Wan comforted herself silently in her heart. Then, she hugged the f.u.xi-style Guqin and took a small maglev vehicle to go home.
During this period of time, she had to practice the Guqin, not only for Nono, but also for her to be able to meet Jiang Xuecheng.
…
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Sat.u.r.day.
The glory world hotel was brightly lit, exuding the elegance and n.o.bility of the upper cla.s.s society.
Long cashmere carpets meandered from the hotel entrance to the inside. n.o.ble men and women dressed in luxurious clothes walked slowly over the carpets, smiling and talking to each other in groups of twos and threes. The place was so big that it was frightening.
In the hotel lobby, the drooping crystal chandelier was flickering with a gentle light. Because Miss Diya was holding a birthday party here, as far as the eye could see, the decorations in the lobby had been completely changed.
Whether it was the exquisitely carved vase or the small painting on the wall, they were all priceless treasures.
Many socialites and n.o.blewomen walked through it, making it seem like a grand event. However, only Miss Diya, who was surrounded by the crowd, was the most eye-catching.
Because it was the birthday girl’s day, Diya wore a long red dress with a swallow tail. She stood there gracefully, and she was really an indescribable beauty.
She was like a red iris blooming in summer, as strong as fire and as bright as the clouds.
Diya was holding a transparent gla.s.s goblet in her hand. She smiled at everyone who attended her birthday party. There was less of her usual capricious and perverse behavior, but more of her gentleness.
Everyone knew that Miss Diya had always been arrogant.
However, she was extremely beautiful and had a high status. She was already popular among the children of the great families. Today, she did not put on the airs of the first daughter of the Siswell family. It simply gave a good impression.
Everyone could see that Miss Diya was in a good mood today. They could not help but start to mess around. From time to time, there would be people who tried to talk to Miss Diya.
It was rare for Diya to not show any displeasure towards others. Each and every one of them talked a little.
As Diya received the guests, her heart gradually became worried.
Why hasn’t the emperor arrived yet?!
The smile on Diya’s face disappeared. She anxiously looked towards the door, but the figure that she had been longing for did not appear in her line of sight.
It can’t be that he won’t come…
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Diya’s pretty face. However, she still had to force herself to deal with the words of those good-for-nothing young masters. Her heart became more and more impatient.
It can’t be, it can’t be. His Highness is a man of his words. How could he break his promise to her?
Diya comforted herself while thinking indignantly that if the emperor did not come, she would use this reason to pester him every day.
Who asked him to break his promise first?
At this moment, a tall man in a white suit walked towards Diya. It was the eldest young master of the Siswell family, Fiennes.
Fiennes smiled at Diya. His blue eyes were deep and clear.
“Diya, you turn eighteen today. I don’t know who will be able to marry you. I feel a little jealous just thinking about it.”
Hearing Fiennes’ voice, Diya suddenly woke up from her thoughts. She shyly glared at Fiennes.
“Brother, you are talking inappropriately again. I am still young. Don’t make fun of me like this.”
As she spoke, Diya’s amber-colored eyes were sparkling with water. They were filled with the timidity of an unmarried woman. The n.o.blemen beside her could not help but feel a little dazzled.
Usually, they would hear people saying that Miss Diya was arrogant and willful. But today, when they looked at her, they simply felt that what they heard were only rumors.
There was simply too much to love about her.
Fiennes smiled slightly, his expression carrying some concern.
“Marriage is a major event. Brother is not making fun of you.”
When the people beside them heard the siblings talk about Diya’s marriage, their eyes could not help but light up. Each and every one of them p.r.i.c.ked up their ears, wanting to probe further.
Usually, there were quite a number of people who adored Miss Diya. However, it was rumored that Miss Diya was too arrogant. In recent years, all the n.o.ble young masters who had tried to curry favor with her had suffered.
However, it was also true that in recent years, the Siswell family’s momentum had been getting stronger day by day. It would be strange if Miss Diya randomly chose someone to marry.
When Fiennes’ low voice fell into her ears, Diya rolled her eyes at him.
“Brother, you are a few years older than me. Why don’t you go and find a sister-in-law to bring back? When you are free, you should worry about your own marriage.”
Fiennes smiled softly when he heard that. His blue eyes flashed slightly. He knew that Diya was shy.
Fiennes reached out and caressed Diya’s head. He spoke calmly.
“Big Brother is different from you. Just wait and see. Father will not force me to marry, but he will definitely think of marrying you off first.”
Diya knew that Fiennes was not joking. She pursed her lips and a trace of loneliness appeared in her amber eyes.
“It’s not like you don’t know who the person I want is. Big Brother, you have to help me.”
Fiennes understood who his little sister’s heart belonged to. He sighed slightly. He felt that this little girl in front of him did not see anyone fit for her, yet she took a liking to the emperor.
However, if the Siswell family could really form a marriage alliance with the G.o.d’s Palace, this kind of relations.h.i.+p could be considered stable. Moreover, his little sister marrying someone she liked would also make her happy.
If she didn’t succeed…
Fiennes’ expression turned cold. The gentle smile on his face instantly disappeared from the corner of his lips.
All these years, although the G.o.d’s Palace and the Siswell family weren’t like fire and water, they were still separated on the surface. On the surface, the G.o.d’s Palace treated the Siswell family with kindness and favor, but underneath, they were secretly on guard.
The G.o.d’s Palace had collapsed internally. The four great families each had their own thoughts. Just as everyone was waiting for an opportunity to take action, the G.o.d’s Palace suddenly appointed a new emperor.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this new emperor was almost “pure-blooded, ” the people below wouldn’t have been able to restrain themselves and would have started a second rebellion.
…
Su Wan stood on the stairs on the second floor of the hotel and looked down.
She was only a small accompanist, and it wasn’t her turn yet. Naturally, she could only stay on the stairs with the other staff members.
There were no guests at the door, so why hadn’t Jiang Xuecheng come yet?
Was he really not coming?
Su Wan was nervous. She looked at the door and then at the star of today’s party.
She saw Fiennes and Diya, standing side by side. They were handsome and pretty, and were very eye-catching in the crowd.
The only strange thing Su Wan wondered about was why Diya’s eyes were amber while Fiennes’ were blue?
Just as Su Wan was surprised, the hotel lobby suddenly became noisy.
“The Emperor is here!”
