Chapter 820: Utterly Defeated
Su Wan lowered her eyes and stared blankly at the man who was kneeling on one knee in front of her.
Even though she was looking down at Jiang Xuecheng from above, she still felt that he was handsome and n.o.ble.
At first glance, she only felt that he was graceful and elegant. When she looked at him again at the second glance, she actually felt that he was like a cold and awe-inspiring sword, with an imposing manner that looked down on the world.
He was such a man, yet he was willing to bend his back for her.
For some reason, Su Wan’s eyes were filled with warmth. Was she worthy of being loved wholeheartedly by such a man?
Su Wan could not help but sob twice and nodded her head heavily.
“I’m willing, I’m willing!”
In fact, she had been his wife for a long time. However, when she was proposed to again, there was still an indescribable throbbing in her heart.
It was as if the string at the bottom of her heart had been suddenly plucked by someone, and a cold and gentle sound rang out.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan’s tearful smile, and his heart was filled with joy that could not be suppressed.
He stood up with a smile and suddenly hugged Su Wan in his arms!
“That’s great. Wan Wan, you’ve agreed to my proposal!”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have entered the world of only the two of them. Apart from each other, they could not see or hear anything. They could only focus on each other’s faces.
The n.o.bles and guests attending the banquet were all stunned by the two of them!
Although handsome men and beautiful women were indeed very pleasing to the eye, wasn’t this occasion a little too inappropriate?!
Didn’t they say that the high priest was going to host the engagement ceremony for the Emperor and Miss Diya today?!
Why did something so unexpected happen, and even his fiancée suddenly changed…
The emperor suddenly proposed to a commoner girl, and Su Wan shamelessly agreed. Where was the face of the G.o.d’s Palace? Where was the face of the Siswell Family?
It could only be said that some people were happy, while others were sad.
At this moment, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng only had eyes for each other. It was as if there was no one else around them. Jiang Xuecheng hugged Su Wan and spinned around twice.
Su Wan’s long white dress skirt rippled open, and the golden stars embroidered on it blossomed layer by layer. It was almost as if it could dazzle the eyes of others.
Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have hugged her enough, and only then did he put Su Wan down.
The two of them stood together hand in hand, and their eyes were filled with obvious affection.
The atmosphere became so strange that other than Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan who were laughing happily, all the guests around them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, Diya screamed and suddenly rushed toward Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
Diya clenched her hands tightly and stared at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng without blinking. Her beautiful eyes were full of hostility and resentment.
“Your Highness, I am your fiancée. How can you propose to someone else!”
On this occasion, the Emperor had proposed to Su Wan. What was she then? What was she?!
Was she just a joke that could be dispensed with?!
Was this how the dignified eldest daughter of the Siswell family gets humiliated?!
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, he suddenly turned his face, as if he had just noticed the existence of such a person next to him.
Su Wan frowned and looked at Jiang Xuecheng without saying a word. She saw that he was also giving her a comforting look, as if he was saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
When they met each other’s eyes, Su Wan felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
With him around, she felt inexplicably at ease.
These storms would come at any time. She and Jiang Xuecheng would wait here!
No one was going to break them up!
Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan’s hand tightly. His voice was calm but determined, as if he was telling an unshakable truth.
“Diya, I’m not suitable for you, and I’ve never agreed to have a marriage with you. You’re not my fiancée, but Su Wan is.”
Fiennes did not feel much emotion when he saw this farce. In fact, he would rather his sister not marry Jiang Xuecheng, so that she would not be tied down when she does something in the future.
Now that Jiang Xuecheng broke off their marriage on the spot, Fiennes was not surprised. Instead, he felt relieved.
However, Diya did not think so when she heard that. She felt as though she had been struck by lightning, and she staggered two steps!
When Fiennes, who was standing behind Diya, saw that Diya almost fell down, he quickly reached out to caress her.
“Diya, be careful!”
At this moment, Diya was in a rage and did not appreciate his kindness at all. Even her brother, who had always respected her, did not have a good expression on his face.
She pushed Fiennes away with a bang.
“Get lost, don’t help me! Brother, I know that you are also protecting that b.i.t.c.h, right?!”
Fiennes was stunned when he heard that. Compared to Su Wan, of course, his sister, who had grown up since young, was more important.
He had a good impression of Su Wan, but he would not lose his mind over her.
Fiennes pursed his lips, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his blue eyes.
“Diya, why would you think that? Of course, I’m doing this for your own good. But since His Highness doesn’t want to marry you, why do you have to force yourself…”
Diya glared at Fiennes angrily, and then looked around at the guests around her.
When those people saw Diya’s gaze, they quickly put away the expression on their faces and looked to the side, pretending that their attention was elsewhere.
A bitter smile appeared on Diya’s face.
It was supposed to be a great day for her engagement, but she let someone beat her to it. Wasn’t this equivalent to being slapped on the spot?!
Heh, weren’t these people looking at her as a joke?
What’s with the pretense?!
But even her own brother didn’t approve of her marriage with the emperor. Why was this so?!
She was born into a wealthy family and was the legitimate daughter of the Siswell family. What was there that she couldn’t compare to Su Wan, to a lowly commoner girl?
In terms of family background, in terms of appearance, in terms of temperament, in terms of cultivation, in terms of talent…
How could she possibly be judged as a loser!
However, in the battlefield of love, she had been utterly defeated. She had lost in such a humiliating manner!
The more Diya thought about it, the more she felt wronged. Two lines of clear tears fell from her beautiful face, and the slightly red tear mark at the corner of her eyes was especially eye-catching.
“Your Highness, if you want to marry Su Wan, then what am I?!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s pitch-black eyes were still calm. He shook his head with an indifferent expression.
“Diya, we were never engaged. I didn’t hold you back in any way. You will have a better choice.”
A better choice?!
Ridiculous!
Could it be that there was a man in this world who was more outstanding than the Emperor of the G.o.d’s Palace?
Diya looked at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, gritting her teeth as she sneered.
“No, I am your fiancée. I won’t allow you to marry Su Wan!”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Diya with some disgust. There was a cold intent between his brows, as if Diya was just a crazy person who was trying to please the crowd.
Being stared at by her lover with that kind of gaze, Diya’s body trembled violently.
She screamed, as if she could not take it anymore, and suddenly rushed out of the banquet hall!
