Chapter 622: Certain That Jiang Xuecheng Would Not Refuse
Facing his sister’s aggressive gaze, Fiennes’ face stiffened.
He pursed his lips and put away his lazy and unruly smile.
“Diya, your liking for the Emperor and my liking for Su Wan are two different things. Don’t mix them up. These two things cannot be placed side by side.”
Hearing that, Diya did not back down at all. She looked straight at Fiennes, her gaze becoming more and more threatening.
“Brother, stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know that you specially found someone to collect music scores a few days ago? I thought you were going to give them to me to learn. Now it seems that they have all been sent to that woman surnamed Su, right?!”
Hearing that, Fiennes was slightly stunned.
Without waiting for him to refute, Diya immediately threw out the next bomb.
“Brother, don’t you think that the woman surnamed Su getting entangled with His Highness makes people very unhappy? Since you like her, you should go after her. Don’t let her pester His Highness and not let him go!”
After saying that, Diya pursed her lips, looking like a child who had lost her candy.
Fiennes smiled and reached out to stroke Diya’s head.
Fiennes was surprised that the emperor would pick Su Wan to be his female companion.
But after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
Fiennes did not believe that the emperor had any feelings for Su Wan. After all, he was the one who had suggested that the emperor find someone to accompany him. It was to stop his sister from having such thoughts.
Today, the Emperor had repeatedly defended Su Wan. Perhaps he was just putting on a show so that Diya would give up sooner…
Even if it wasn’t…
Fiennes’ face darkened. He suddenly recalled the scenes he had seen in the G.o.d’s Palace a few days ago.
The Emperor had always had a poor appet.i.te, but he did not seem to be picky about Su Wan’s dishes. They were just ordinary potato egg omelets, but the emperor had quickly finished them…
Was Su Wan really good at cooking, or was it because in His Highness’ heart, Su Wan was the special one?
Fiennes frowned and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Fiennes in a daze, Diya hurriedly reached out to push him, her beautiful face showing some concern.
“Brother, what’s wrong–”
Fiennes suddenly came back to his senses and smiled faintly at Diya, quickly suppressing the discomfort in his heart.
“Diya, you really shouldn’t think too much. Even without Miss Su, His Highness doesn’t seem to like you. You should give up early.”
Hearing her brother’s lecture, Diya rolled her eyes at Fiennes. She simply ignored him and quickly slipped in alone.
Fiennes looked at Diya’s back that was getting further and further away. He felt a little helpless in his heart. Then, that thought suddenly jumped out of his mind.
If Su Wan and the emperor weren’t just putting on a show, what kind of unclear relations.h.i.+p did they have?
Fiennes’ thin lips were tightly pursed, and his pair of azure-blue eyes instantly sank into a daze.
If that was really the case, what should he do?
Fiennes shook his head. For some reason, he didn’t wish for this to happen.
Actually, Fiennes also knew that Su Wan was just an ordinary commoner girl. According to the G.o.d’s Palace’s convention, the Emperor wouldn’t marry her.
Even if it was the Siswell family, they would never allow him to marry a commoner girl, right?
Fiennes lowered his head and looked at his own hands. He lifted the sleeves of his suit, as if he could see the blood flowing under his slender wrist.
Because his birth mother’s status was low, he himself disdained the concept of hierarchy.
The reason he was born was because his father had carelessly favored a maid back then, which was why he was born.
His birth mother died of depression. From a very young age, Fiennes remembered the ridicule of those people. They mocked him as a pitiful and lowly illegitimate son. Not to mention being a young master, he was even worse than a servant.
But so what?
Those people who had mocked him in the past, didn’t they all have to bow respectfully to him now?
In the entire Siswell family, there was no one else with purer Dragon’s Blood than him.
Perhaps, this was fate.
The memories of the past lingered in his mind, causing Fiennes’ expression to turn cold.
He sighed lightly and simply stopped thinking about these troublesome matters. He strode into the courtyard.
…
Under the guidance of the attendant, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng pa.s.sed through the living room.
This mansion was as magnificent as the outside. There were six gorgeous chandeliers hanging in the living room. The lights were bright, illuminating the surroundings.
Su Wan looked at the decorations and layout around her without blinking. She secretly sighed with emotion at the exquisiteness and perfection of the details.
Such a solemn and n.o.ble layout, it was unknown which designer had made it.
She really wanted to see the real person. He was probably a person with good taste in life.
Just when Su Wan thought that the banquet would be held in the living room, she suddenly heard the voice of the waiter.
“Your Highness, please follow me.”
Eh, the banquet was not held in the hall?!
Su Wan was stunned. She quickly s.h.i.+fted her gaze away from a mural and followed Jiang Xuecheng without looking away.
…
The waiter brought them to an open-air garden.
The night was quiet, but what Su Wan smelled was not the fragrance of flowers, but the rich aroma of food.
Uh, she seemed to be a little hungry…
Su Wan stared at the exquisite food on the terrace and almost drooled.
Su Wan was actually a foodie. She did not think about anything anymore and really wanted to eat.
Seeing that Su Wan was staring at the food without blinking, Diya, who had caught up with her, snorted coldly and revealed a sarcastic smile.
“A country b.u.mpkin is a country b.u.mpkin. Even if you dress luxuriously, you can’t hide the rustic aura around you. You only know how to eat when you’re here.”
Could this young lady not target her like this?!
Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, but a faint smile appeared on her face.
She calmly picked up a piece of vanilla mung bean cake and handed it directly to Jiang Xuecheng’s mouth.
“Your Highness, this is what you like.”
The emperor’s eyes darkened. He stared at Su Wan and looked at her again and again, but he had no intention of taking the mung bean cake.
Su Wan’s face was full of smiles, but she was not fl.u.s.tered because she was certain that Jiang Xuecheng would not refuse.
It was not because she was confident in herself, but because Su Wan knew why Jiang Xuecheng had brought her here.
With her previous experience, Su Wan could tell that Jiang Xuecheng did not like Diya and was probably using her as a s.h.i.+eld.
Therefore, she did not mind using her functions.
Sure enough, before Su Wan could wait for too long, Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head, bit on the piece of cake, and bit off more than half of it. His lips even brushed past Su Wan’s fingers, whether intentionally or not.
The man’s lips seemed to carry an electric current, making Su Wan’s heart go numb.
Su Wan was stunned. Her hands trembled, and she almost had the illusion of being scalded!
When Diya saw this scene, her amber eyes were filled with jealousy!
