Chapter 967: Cold Feet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Diya was in a daze. She only vaguely remembered that she seemed to see the man with the jade eyes.
She did not know the rest.
When she woke up, she felt a severe pain on the back of her neck. It was as if someone had struck her hard. Then, she lost consciousness.
Diya felt that her surroundings were a little dark.
She blinked her eyes and tried her best to brush away the darkness in front of her.
After about ten seconds, Diya felt that the scenery in front of her became clear.
This place was very strange. It was like a dilapidated small house. The furnis.h.i.+ngs around it were old and looked ancient.
This was definitely not the headquarters of the Siswell family. How could her family have such a dilapidated residence!
Wait a minute, why would she appear here?!
Alarms went off in Diya’s heart. She immediately lifted the blanket on her body!
After making sure that her clothes had not been changed at all, other than the dull pain at the back of her neck, she did not feel anything else. Only then did Diya finally feel at ease.
“You’re awake?”
Just as Diya heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar male voice.
The other party’s voice was deep and clear, carrying an indifference that was engraved in her bones.
Diya immediately raised her head and looked over.
She saw that the door had already been pushed open. An extremely young man was standing with his hands behind his back. His figure was against the light, but his outline was clearly reflected.
It was just that his facial features were a little unclear.
Just as Diya was surprised, Ming Ye had already walked over in her direction.
Only then did Diya notice that the other party had changed into a new set of clothes. He was no longer wearing the uniform of the guards of the Siswell family. Instead, he had changed into a black jacket.
Diya’s line of sight moved from Ming Ye’s feet all the way up to Ming Ye’s face.
Oh G.o.d!
Diya’s amber eyes widened. She looked at Ming Ye in shock. Her slender index finger stretched straight towards Ming Ye’s face!
“Why did your face…”
Why did that man’s appearance suddenly change?!
His originally mediocre face was unexpectedly handsome and young at this moment.
His long black eyebrows flew straight into his temples. His pair of jade-like eyes were like deep pools. Under the straight bridge of his nose were thin lips that were pursed into a straight line. The color of his lips was extremely light, exuding a somewhat lonely and unfeeling air.
No matter how one looked at it, other than his pair of green eyes that had not changed, the other facial features of this man had completely changed!
If this face was the real face of this man, then this man was too… handsome, right?
As a face lover, Diya’s heart was pounding non-stop. She immediately forgot about the situation where she was kidnapped and brought here.
Ming Ye glanced at Diya indifferently. He did not answer Diya’s question. Instead, he started a new topic.
“Miss Diya, does Fiennes usually love you?”
Seeing that Ming Ye mentioned her brother, Diya was stunned. She did not understand why he asked this question, but she still nodded subconsciously.
If that was the case…
Ming Ye’s jade eyes flashed. His eyes were deep and unfathomable.
“If I traded you for Su Wan, do you think Fiennes will agree?”
As Ming Ye spoke, he bent down and looked into Diya’s eyes.
Because Ming Ye was so close to her, she felt an indescribable pressure.
Diya could even see her own reflection in those eyes.
This man had an extremely cold temperament. He was like an a.s.sa.s.sin…
Wait!
Exchange her for… Su Wan?!
Diya suddenly remembered her current situation!
Could it be that Ming Ye kidnapped her from the Siswell family just to exchange for Su Wan?!
Recalling Ming Ye’s words just now, Diya’s heart was filled with an indescribable sense of vigilance.
“What’s your relations.h.i.+p with Su Wan?”
A woman’s intuition was always exceptionally sharp. Thinking of Ming Ye’s casual gentleness when he mentioned Su Wan just now, Diya’s heart was already filled with alarm bells!
From the time they met in the elevator, this man seemed to have been a demon in her life that she could never forget.
Diya even thought that she might have fallen in love with this man.
It was not because he was handsome, it was not because he was powerful, and it was also not because he was gentle and considerate.
It was just that in the pitch-black elevator, when she hugged this man, it made her feel at ease.
Perhaps sometimes, you like someone because they can give you a sense of security.
But looking at it now, could it be that Ming Ye was also one of Su Wan’s admirers?!
Although Diya no longer hated Su Wan, if the two men she had fallen in love with, First Jiang Xuecheng and then Ming Ye, were both Su Wan’s admirers, she would feel that Su Wan was her nemesis!
Why was her luck so bad!
Seeing Diya’s amber eyes staring straight at him, Ming Ye was completely unmoved.
His gaze locked on Diya’s body, as sharp as a blade, piercing straight into people’s hearts.
“What’s the relations.h.i.+p between me and Su Wan? Does it matter?”
Hearing that, Diya was stunned. She almost desperately wanted to reach out and grab Ming Ye’s wrist.
However, Ming Ye dodged her first.
Diya curled her lips in disappointment and looked at Ming Ye anxiously.
“Of course it’s important!”
Ming Ye was a little puzzled as to why Diya would act like this. He shook his head indifferently.
“We’re just friends who met by chance.”
Ordinary friends?!
Go lie to a three-year-old!
When Diya heard that, she obviously did not believe it. However, judging from the hidden meaning in Ming Ye’s words, he should only have a one-sided liking for Su Wan at most.
That was true. Su Wan clearly loved the emperor. How could she have anything to do with this man?
Just as Diya was feeling happy, Ming Ye suddenly spoke.
“You have been missing for fifteen minutes. I’ve told your brother to exchange Su Wan for you. Do you think your brother would be willing?”
Would he?
Diya was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Then, she nodded without hesitation!
How could she not!
Her brother loved her the most.
In Fiennes’ heart, Su Wan should not be as important as her sister, right?
Diya thought so.
…
At the same time, at the civil affairs bureau, Su Wan and Fiennes were still sitting in the car.
There were a lot of people today, and Fiennes had to pay attention to etiquette, so he did not cut the queue. He just let his subordinates stand in line first, preparing to bring Su Wan in when it was their turn.
When the relevant media reporters heard that Fiennes and Su Wan were going to get their certificates today, they had already sent people over to s.n.a.t.c.h the news.
Those reporters had almost packed the entire road, but Fiennes had no intention of accepting the interview.
“Young master, it’s your turn with Miss Su.”
Su Wan’s face turned slightly pale. Was she really going to get their certificates with Fiennes?
Was she really going to back out?
Seeing that Fiennes was the first to get out of the car, Su Wan gritted her teeth and finally forced herself to follow him.
However, before she could take two steps, an anxious-looking bodyguard surrounded her!
“Young master, something bad has happened! Miss Diya is missing!”
