Chapter 948: Seems Like You’re Not Stupid After All
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In this endless darkness, only the man who had suddenly appeared was holding a crystal lamp. The light was faint.
Su Wan could no longer care about her manners and immediately hugged the man’s leg tightly!
She wanted to leave this place!
If she stayed in this d.a.m.ned place for too long, it would definitely destroy all of her sanity!
Su Wan didn’t want to go crazy!
…
The moment Su Wan hugged his leg, he stopped in his tracks. Su Wan looked up in a daze.
She noticed that he seemed to be holding a lunch box in his hand.
Was he the young man who came to deliver her lunch?
As the light from the lamp in his hand was too faint, Su Wan couldn’t even tell what he looked like.
She could only feel that he was the only source of light in the surroundings.
Such a faint source of light.
Su Wan raised her head and spoke to the man without thinking!
“I want to see Fiennes! I have to see your young master!”
She really did not want to stay in this d.a.m.ned place any longer. If she did not negotiate with Fiennes, Su Wan felt that she might really have to stay in this Quiet Room until she died!
When she heard her voice, Su Wan was shocked!
Her usually beautiful voice was now hoa.r.s.e like an old woman, or as if she had cried bitterly. Her vocal cords seemed to have been greatly damaged.
It was as subtle as a cat’s cry.
The man slowly put down the lunchbox in his hand.
He bent down, and his pair of blue eyes were silent in the dark night.
The surroundings were too dim. Even with the dim light source, the man’s eyes were almost black.
Blue-black.
“What, you finally want to see me now? If you want to see me so much, why did you want to run away?”
The man’s voice was as gentle as jade. There was no deliberate deterrence, but there was an inexplicable sharpness and coldness.
Such a contradictory temperament was perfectly combined with his body.
When she heard that voice, Su Wan’s heart was shocked!
It was actually Fiennes!
She had never thought that Fiennes would personally come to bring her food!
When Su Wan realized the other party’s ident.i.ty, she suddenly s.h.i.+vered. She did not know whether it was because of her subconscious fear or something else, but Su Wan suddenly let go of the other party’s leg.
Just as Su Wan was about to take a step back, however, Fiennes didn’t allow her to dodge and grabbed her jaw.
Su Wan had always been thin. After being locked in this dark room for a few days, she became thinner and thinner.
Su Wan’s jaw, which was originally quite fleshy, was now full of bones.
Fiennes’ merciless actions caused Su Wan to feel pain in her lower body.
Su Wan had been starving for some time, but now that Fiennes was holding her chin, she felt wronged.
“It hurts.”
When Su Wan said this, her palms were already sweating.
She did not know what kind of trick Fiennes would play, but for most people, they would lower their guard against those who showed weakness.
What Su Wan wanted was for Fiennes to lower his guard against her.
She had to escape from this d.a.m.ned place
This was not a place where people could stay.
…
Hearing Su Wan cry out in pain, Fiennes’ blue eyes flashed and revealed a trace of surprise.
He had originally thought that Su Wan was the kind of girl who was stubborn to the bone.
He did not expect Su Wan to behave like this.
But it was also true. From the moment he entered, Su Wan did not even know who he was when she hugged his leg.
It was clear… how much she wanted to leave this place.
Fiennes’ expression softened a little. He looked down at Su Wan and suddenly let go of the hand that was grabbing Su Wan’s jaw.
This time, Fiennes’ strength was very sudden.
Su Wan was in pain. She subconsciously staggered backward and supported herself against the wall.
However, before Su Wan could catch her breath, Fiennes suddenly approached her.
Fiennes raised the crystal lamp high and the extremely faint light fell on Su Wan’s face.
As the light moved, Su Wan’s face became paler and paler.
It made her heart ache.
However, Fiennes was a ruthless person. He would not be moved by Su Wan just because of this.
He looked at Su Wan with a mysterious smile on his face, and his voice was deep and distant.
“Su Wan, you still know how to feel pain. It seems that you are not stupid after all.”
Su Wan’s expression instantly froze.
Who would have thought that Fiennes would say such a thing!
Su Wan smiled bitterly. She pinched her palm with all her might. When she felt the pain, her eyes finally started to fog up.
Tears filled her eyelashes.
Su Wan lowered her posture to the lowest level, looking extremely pitiful and helpless.
From the moment Fiennes let go of her, Su Wan knew that Fiennes had obviously fallen for the act of showing weakness.
She had to paralyze Fiennes.
But this man was too hard to fool.
From the time she had tried to escape by setting a fire, Su Wan had realized that Fiennes was far scarier than she had imagined. He knew a lot of things, but he didn’t say anything.
It was just that when you thought you had a chance to escape successfully, this man would seize that opportunity and descend like the Devil.
He would slowly destroy all the hope in people’s hearts.
However, her situation was still much better than the subordinate who betrayed Fiennes. At least, she did not eat a pot of human flesh.
Moreover, it was the flesh of a close relative.
Just thinking about it made Su Wan’s hair stand on end.
Su Wan was nervous. She took a deep breath and tried to negotiate with Fiennes.
“Young Master Fiennes, if I were to be imprisoned by you again, I might really lose my mind. You don’t want others to see you marry a bride who has lost her mind, right?”
Hearing Su Wan’s words, Fiennes smiled noncommittally.
However, when he spoke, he completely avoided Su Wan’s topic.
“Do you know your mistake?”
Ah?
Su Wan was stunned for a moment. She kept feeling that Fiennes was speaking in such a rambling manner that she almost couldn’t keep up.
Could it be that after being imprisoned here for a few days, his entire intelligence had declined?
Su Wan’s heart trembled and she quickly nodded at Fiennes.
“Yes, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have planned to escape behind your back.”
When Fiennes heard Su Wan’s ‘repentance,’ his expression was still indifferent. He suddenly changed the topic.
“Let me tell you a story, Su Wan.”
Su Wan saw Fiennes’ att.i.tude and her heart shuddered. How could she not listen!
So Su Wan nodded.
Fiennes had already begun to slowly narrate the story of a boy.
Obviously, the boy in this story was Fiennes himself.
He lost his mother at an early age. Later, due to fate, he was helped to become the heir of the Siswell family. He was sent to Diya’s mother to acknowledge Madam w.a.n.g as his mother.
But Fiennes was unwilling to call Madam w.a.n.g his mother, so he was locked in this Quiet Room.
He was only thirteen that year.
