Fiennes looked at the time displayed on his watch, and a faint light flashed across his blue eyes.
He seemed...almost two hours late.
Su Wan should have left, right
Fiennes's long brows frowned as he thought of how he had vowed last time to be on time.
In fact, he had a good impression of the girl named Su Wan, and wanted to take advantage of the time when delivering the Silver Tear Mine to chat with her for a while in an attempt to improve his impression of her, but he did not expect to backfire.
A beautiful face suddenly popped up in my mind, with completely oriental facial features, almond-shaped eyes and dark eyebrows. Even without speaking, she had a calm and elegant temperament.
From childhood to adulthood, Fiennes has seen countless beauties, some bright and elegant, some petite and pretty, and many of them are more stunning than Su Wan.
But I have to say that the girl named Su Wan is very special, especially when she plays the guqin, there is an indescribable beauty in her.
Even the sadness hidden between her brows makes people want to soothe her.
If this kind of thing hadn't suddenly happened at Tia's birthday party yesterday, and Tia hadn't been frightened all night, why would he have been dragged here in such a hurry
So much so that I even forgot about the appointment.
Being so late, even the best-tempered person would think he was putting on airs.
Fiennes couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. He had stood Su Wan up like this, and Su Wan was probably leaving a negative impression of him.
Tia was immersed in the joy of being forgiven by the prince and did not notice the strangeness in Fiennes' expression at all.
Tia reached out and wiped the tears from her face. She raised her head with a smile and brought Fiennes back to his senses.
"Brother, you are right. His Highness just can't let go of his pride. Since he rescued me, it means he is willing to believe me. Brother, let's go home."
Fiennes came back to his senses when he heard Tia's sweet female voice. He looked at Tia with some pity and reached out to stroke her head.
My sister is truly devoted to the Emperor's son.
Fiennes was thinking about whether he should hold a dance or a social party recently so that his sister could meet more young talents of the same age and give up her thoughts on the Emperor's son.
After all, His Highness is a thoughtful person, and he must be feeling resentful towards his sister because of what happened last night.
No matter how you look at it, the Emperor's son doesn't seem like a suitable man for Tia to entrust her life to.
Thinking of this, Fiennes' blue eyes flickered slightly. Perhaps he should arrange Tia's marriage earlier.
Yesterday he let Tia act up, thinking that maybe it would bring a glimmer of hope to his sister. Now that this glimmer of hope is gone, it would be better to give up Tia's thoughts as soon as possible.
His sister is the legitimate daughter of the Siswell family. She has a noble status and is one in a million in appearance. Looking at all the major families and forces, there must be many young men of marriageable age who are interested in his sister.
The right thing to do is to find a suitable opportunity to bring them together.
Fiennes had an idea in his mind and his expression softened.
He took a deep breath and smiled at the girl beside him.
"Tia, you go back first, I have someone else to see, so leave later."
The person Fiennes wanted to see was Su Wan.
Regardless of whether Su Wan had left or not, he had to meet Su Wan first to minimize the other party's negative impression.
Fiennes knew the address where Su Wan lived. He had wanted to visit her before, but couldn't find the right opportunity. This time he had an excuse to meet her.
Fiennes's low voice passed by her ears, and Tia was stunned.
Who else is her brother going to see
It couldn't possibly be the Emperor's son, he had once again shut me and my brother out...
Tia frowned and looked at Fiennes with some curiosity: "Brother, who are you going to see?"
Fiennes just smiled and said nothing.
"I'm going to find someone. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry about it."
Fiennes often used Tia's young age to shut her up, and Tia thought her brother was hiding something important from her again.
Tia pursed her lips and rolled her eyes arrogantly at the man in front of her.
"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, I don't want to know either!"
Tia turned around and ran to the end of the corridor with a smile, then suddenly turned back and made a face. That childish smile made Fiennes couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Fiennes knew that his sister was indeed willful, even unruly.
But one has to have the capital to be willful. As the daughter of the Siswell family, Tia should be loved and pampered like a jewel in the palm of the hand.
Although Fiennes and Tia have the same father, they are not born to the same mother.
Because Fiennes' mother was born in a humble family and died early, Fiennes did not have a good life in the Heathville family in his early years and was often looked down upon and bullied.
On the contrary, the younger Tiya often liked to protect him. Later, because of his high degree of dragon blood inheritance, Fiennes was directly promoted to the position of heir to the Siswell family. Tiya was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
From then on, Fiennes was determined to protect his sister. Although she was a little bit domineering, in Fiennes's opinion, that was cute and a little innocent.
Tia's bold and reckless character was largely developed by the Fiennes and Siswell families.
…
Fiennes took the maglev train and came alone to the hotel where Su Wan was staying.
Although the innkeeper's wife didn't know Fiennes, she knew immediately that he was a distinguished guest because of his imposing manner and the expensive clothes he was wearing.
However, their hotel is relatively small, and I don’t know why such a distinguished guest would come.
The proprietress immediately put on a warm business expression and greeted him with a smile.
"Sir, do you need accommodation?"
Fiennes looked around the small hotel and frowned slightly.
It turns out that Su Wan lives in a place like this. It looks really shabby.
This place is really not suitable at all with that beautiful woman.
If Fiennes had not specifically checked that Su Wan was born into a civilian family, her parents were both dead, and she came here from a very remote immigrant planet, Fiennes would even have thought that Su Wan was a lady of noble birth.
Seeing the proprietress coming towards him enthusiastically, Fiennes frowned slightly. He couldn't help but take a half step back, a flawless smile appearing on his face.
"Hello, does Miss Su Wansu live here?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress opened her eyes wide in sudden realization - no wonder, she was wondering why such a rare guest suddenly appeared today.
So you came to see Su Wan...
The landlady nodded with a smile and pointed upstairs enthusiastically to Fiennes.
"Miss Su does live here, but she went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Sir, are you Miss Su's friend?"
