Chapter 693: Everything Had Lost Its Luster

Hearing Su Wan’s merciless words, the gentle smile on Fiennes’ face instantly disappeared from the corner of his lips.

Sometimes, he was really curious as to why Su Wan had a kind of pride that would rather break than bend in such a situation.

A commoner girl had the guts to cheat on her highness, but after the matter was exposed, she actually did not have any fear.

She did not look very strong, but she was not as fragile as he had imagined. In short, she had a very contradictory temperament.

People could not help but want to investigate.

Fiennes stared deeply at Su Wan. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile.

Perhaps it was because of this that the Emperor had risked his life to go into the water to save her?

Su Wan did not expect that after her words, Fiennes did not retreat. Instead, he continued to stare at her with a teasing smile.

Facing Fiennes’ burning gaze, Su Wan felt like she was a prey that was being targeted.

And Fiennes was the hunter. He stared at her like a tiger eyeing its prey, making it difficult for her to escape from his net.

Being looked at like this, Su Wan felt very uncomfortable in her heart...

She began to feel that the strength of that sentence just now was not enough, so she could not help but add another sentence.

“Also, I’m just a beginner of the Guqin. I’m far from being qualified to be an artist. If you like the Guqin, then find another professional.”

Su Wan believed that Fiennes could understand the hidden meaning of this sentence, but his thick skin was clearly beyond her expectations.

Fiennes looked at Su Wan with a smile. His smile was not very cordial, but it carried an ambiguous aura.

“But I only like the Guqin you play.”

It was a simple sentence, and his voice was low and calm. However, if it were any other girl, they would be embarrassed.

However, Su Wan’s heart did not even beat faster, let alone became embarrassed. The veins on her forehead could not help but twitch.

Fiennes deliberately said these words to tease her. Su Wan almost suspected that this man wanted to mess with her because of his sister?

“That’s because you’ve met too few Guqin masters!”

Su Wan replied without hesitation. The expression on her face was already a little angry.

She had rejected him so clearly. Fiennes deliberately pretended not to understand. It was really...

Fiennes nodded indifferently. His smile was still watertight.

“Miss Su, you’re right. But it’s very difficult to find a person who can play the Guqin now, isn’t it? Why don’t you introduce another to me, Miss Su?”

Fiennes fixed his gaze on Su Wan. He spoke as if he was serious, but the teasing smile on his face became more and more bewitching.

Facing Fiennes, whose skin was thicker than the city wall, Su Wan could only have a headache.

“That’s your own business!”

She replied coldly and then ignored Fiennes. She bent down and immediately lifted the quilt to look for her shoes on the ground.

“Miss Su, where are you going?”

Fiennes was stunned when he saw Su Wan putting on her shoes. He raised his eyebrows as if he did not expect Su Wan to want to go out.

When he saw Su Wan putting on her shoes, Fiennes immediately welcomed her warmly.

“Miss Su, I heard from the doctor that your ankle is injured. Are you sure you can walk? Do you want me to help you?”

Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart and said unhappily.

“No need. I can walk on my own. Thank you!”

As Su Wan said that, she walked slowly towards the door.

In order to prevent the injury on her ankle from opening again, Su Wan really did not dare to challenge him to walk quickly. She just could not stand the chattering of Fiennes by her ear, so she was determined to leave this place.

However, only Su Wan knew that there was another secret reason that was difficult to explain.

Previously, Diya had said that Jiang Xuecheng’s injuries were very serious, especially that there was a hole in his knee. Su Wan couldn’t help but want to go and see him.

Now, she couldn’t deal with Fiennes anymore. With her leaving, she finally had a legitimate reason.

She had already made up her mind to leave the God’s Palace. She didn’t want to have any more entanglements with Jiang Xuecheng. However, if she wanted to let go, it wouldn’t be so easy.

No matter what, at least Jiang Xuecheng’s injuries were for her sake. Su Wan hoped that Jiang Xuecheng would recover as soon as possible.

Seeing that Su Wan was determined to leave by herself, Fiennes didn’t force her. He smiled as he followed Su Wan’s footsteps and started a conversation.

“Miss Su, are you going to see the Emperor?”

Su Wan really couldn’t be bothered to look at Fiennes. She nodded her head lightly and then stubbornly walked to the other end of the corridor.

Fiennes saw that Su Wan was ignoring him, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he began to tell a story with great interest.

The story was about Diya. Sometimes he was in high spirits as he spoke, and sometimes he was a little doting and helpless towards his sister.

Su Wan listened to every sentence, but she did not reply. She could tell that Fiennes was really good to his sister.

It was just that at such a moment, when one is alone, but they feel the care of others, it will hurt their sensitive heart more and more.

Fiennes and Diya might be good siblings, but Su Wan did not dare to compliment them on their attitude toward outsiders.

When they were almost at the door of Jiang Xuecheng’s ward, Fiennes finally stopped his endless narration.

To Su Wan’s surprise, the door of the ward was not closed, but opened directly.

Su Wan and Fiennes walked over one after another.

When she saw the scene inside, Su Wan’s whole body instantly froze, and the color drained from her face.

There were two people in Jiang Xuecheng’s ward. Besides Jiang Xuecheng, the other was naturally the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya.

However, that was not the main point.

The main point was that Diya and Jiang Xuecheng were currently hugging each other.

The petite and exquisite girl pounced on Jiang Xuecheng just like that. Her bright and beautiful face was filled with attachment.

Su Wan could not see Jiang Xuecheng’s expression clearly at that moment. She could only feel that Jiang Xuecheng did not reject her. A pair of slender arms were placed on Diya’s back. Their knuckles were clearly defined.

Under the light, the two of them were leaning against each other. The handsome man and the pretty woman looked as if they were acting in an idol drama. They were a perfect match!

Su Wan bit her lower lip tightly. She felt that this scene was like a knife that had ruthlessly cut open her heart.

Suddenly, the words of Diya’s previous demonstration appeared in her ears. It was extremely clear.

“Su Wan, you should know, right? A woman like you didn’t come from a good background to begin with, and now you’ve even caused such a ridiculous thing. His Highness has already done his utmost for you.”

“As for me? I’m the eldest daughter of the Siswell family. Sooner or later, I’ll be a glorious bride for His Highness. You should stop daydreaming about His Highness!”

One voice after another, filled with arrogance.

Su Wan’s hand trembled, and her entire body seemed to be shrouded in a haze. She felt as if everything had lost its luster.

Su Wan couldn’t help but mock herself. She had already said that she was going to leave, so why couldn’t she help but feel heartache when faced with such a scene?

She pursed her lips and turned around immediately before she stepped into the room. She strode away.
