Chapter 853: Can We Be Friends?
Su Wan looked at the sweet and clear smile on Diya’s face and could not help but feel a little awkward in her heart.
It seemed to be the first time she had seen Diya smile like that to her.
It was not that Su Wan liked to make malicious speculations about others, but Diya had changed too much. Not only did she not pester her and Jiang Xuecheng, but she had also come to send them off so kindly?
One must not have the intention to harm others, and one must be wary of others. Su Wan decided to carefully observe Diya for a period of time, so that she would not let down her guard against someone so quickly.
Diya seemed to have seen Su Wan’s surprise. She was a little embarra.s.sed as she flipped her hair. Her face was slightly red, and her smile was somewhat reserved.
“Miss Su, can I talk to you alone?”
However, at this moment, Diya’s face did not have that overbearing feeling, and it was not annoying at all.
When the people around heard Diya’s earnest words, their eyes instantly widened.
They had come to send off the emperor, and more or less, they had heard about what had happened at the banquet earlier. This Miss Diya’s engagement was not confirmed, so she would not deliberately come to cause trouble for Su Wan, right?
Was there a need to go to such a juncture?!
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his slender brows suddenly furrowed. Because Diya had repeatedly found fault with Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng had initially maintained a cold att.i.tude towards Diya. Right now, they were already very prejudiced against Diya.
“Miss Diya, Su Wan and I are about to leave. What do you have to say that you can’t say here on the spot?”
Diya obviously didn’t expect Jiang Xuecheng to be so fierce. She looked embarra.s.sed, her slender fingers tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, like a girl who had made a mistake after being scolded by her teacher.
“Your Highness, don’t be so nervous. I just want to have a chat with Miss Su alone.”
As if she was afraid that Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng would misunderstand, Diya shook her head like a rattle-drum, vowing to make a promise.
“Your Highness, I promise not to bother Miss Su. It’s just a few simple words, and you’re not standing too far away. I can’t do anything even if I wanted to.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was cold. His deep eyes stared at Diya. It was obvious that he was still worried about Diya.
Seeing how Jiang Xuecheng was so protective of Su Wan, Diya could not help but feel a strong sense of envy. However, ever since the grand event at the racecourse, there seemed to be only pure envy left in her heart.
It turned out that she had always thought that she had fallen in love with Jiang Xuecheng at first sight, and that she would definitely love this man more than Su Wan would.
However, the moment she stepped onto the racetrack, Diya suddenly understood that the tacit understanding and trust between Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng was something that she could not interfere with at all.
After all, in Diya’s heart, the first person she trusted at the moment was her brother, Fiennes. Unfortunately, in that kind of situation, she did not dare to be arrogant about her brother’s riding skills.
Even if the person riding the horse blindfolded was the emperor, it was impossible for her not to retreat.
However, over the past few days, her brother’s expression had not been very good. Diya even suspected that Fiennes was holding a grudge against her because of this matter.
Was it necessary?
Diya sighed in her heart. She forced a smile and looked at Su Wan with a hopeful expression.
“Miss Su, are you willing to talk to me? It won’t take more than a few minutes.”
“This…”
Su Wan looked at Diya hesitantly. She looked at the girl in front of her. She was only eighteen years old, and her big amber eyes were clear and bright.
Su Wan hesitated for a few seconds before she finally nodded.
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect Su Wan to agree. Su Wan was too soft-hearted. He gave Su Wan a warning look and even held Su Wan’s hand.
Su Wan shook her head slightly at Jiang Xuecheng with a smile on her face.
“Don’t worry. It’s only a few meters away. There are so many people here. If anything happens, no one will gain anything. Besides, aren’t you here?”
Su Wan had seen Jiang Xuecheng’s ability once. With such a long distance, Jiang Xuecheng should be able to make a move.
Moreover, Diya was wearing a fiery red tight-fitting dress today. There was nothing on her hands, and there was no place for her to hide a murder weapon from head to toe. Therefore, Su Wan was not very afraid.
As long as Diya did not extend her hand to commit murder, just by relying on Diya’s mouth, even if she was reduced to dust, Su Wan felt that she still had the mental capacity to bear it.
When Diya saw that Su Wan had agreed to talk to her alone for a while, her face could not help but show some joy.
Such a playful and cute smile on Diya’s face was something that no one could hate.
Sometimes, Su Wan even suspected that Diya had a split personality. When she felt bad, it was enough to make people jump up and down, but now, it was as if she was innocent and ignorant of the world.
She really did not know how to evaluate it.
If only Diya could continue to be so cute, how much trouble could she save!
…
Su Wan and Diya walked out alone. Su Wan was in front and Diya was behind. The two of them were about two steps apart.
After walking for three to four meters, Su Wan stopped.
Su Wan suddenly turned her head. Diya was still thinking about something and did not stop in time. She b.u.mped into Su Wan’s arm.
Diya’s amber eyes widened. She cried out in a low voice.
“Ah, Miss Su, I’m sorry. I b.u.mped into you.”
This rich young lady was actually apologizing to her?
Su Wan was stunned. She could not hide the shock on her face.
The sun had indeed risen from the west. This had completely overturned what Su Wan had known all along!
Su Wan furrowed her brows. She took a step back and separated herself from Diya by an arm’s length.
“It’s okay, just say what you want to say. I’ll listen.”
Seeing Su Wan hiding behind her, Diya could not help but feel a little disappointed. It was rare for her to want to be friendly with Su Wan, but it was a pity that she did not seem to appreciate it.
Diya looked at Su Wan in embarra.s.sment, her fair and delicate face full of seriousness.
“Miss Su, do you have a bad impression of me? That’s why you’re so surprised when I apologized…”
Su Wan cursed in her heart. Based on the things that Diya had done to her, it would be difficult for her to have a good impression of this rich young lady!
However, after some consideration, Su Wan still chose a relatively tactful way to put it.
“Impressions are something that changes with time. Miss Diya, you were willing to admit defeat at the horse race previously. As long as you keep your promise, my impression of you will naturally change.”
It turned out that she had a negative impression of Diya. If Diya really did not come to pester her and Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan felt that it would be good for them to stay away from each other.
Diya felt that Su Wan was distant and she was anxious to clarify herself. However, after thinking about it, it seemed that she had gone too far with Su Wan in the past.
Diya bit the corner of her lips. She stared at Su Wan with her pair of amber eyes.
“I was wrong in the past. I will change in the future. Miss Su, I can see clearly now that His Highness and I really are not suitable for each other. So, Miss Su, can we be friends in the future?”
