Even without turning her head, Su Wan could sense Jiang Xuecheng's cold gaze, locked on her.
For some reason, after that night, she became a little afraid of him.
I'm really scared.
Su Wan's hand holding the chopsticks shook for a moment, and he accidentally dropped the pair of silver chopsticks on the ground.
The crisp sound of silver chopsticks falling to the ground echoed in the air, making the atmosphere a little weird.
Realizing that he had dropped his chopsticks, Su Wan was startled and instantly wanted to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen to the ground as if by reflex.
But someone was faster than her.
Just as Su Wan bent down, she saw a pair of slender white hands picking up the silver chopsticks that had fallen on the ground for her.
It's Fiennes.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to her seat and nodded to Fiennes.
"Thanks."
Su Wan thanked him subconsciously, then quickly shrank back and sat in his original seat.
The great god next to Su Wan remained motionless. He turned his gaze away and nonchalantly picked up a piece of cold jellyfish from the bowl.
It was as if he hadn't noticed Su Wan's embarrassing incident of dropping his chopsticks just now.
When Fiennes heard Su Wan's thanks, he curled the corners of his lips indifferently.
He put the pair of silver chopsticks that fell to the ground aside, then opened the secret box on the dining table and handed another pair of unopened chopsticks to Su Wan.
When Su Wan saw the chopsticks handed to her by Fiennes, she had no choice but to take them with stiff hands, and then thanked Fiennes again.
Fiennes had a playful smile on his lips, as if he was completely unaware of Su Wan's embarrassment, and instead began to tease her.
"How could you be so careless? Just now you dropped the menu and now you dropped the chopsticks. Miss Su, why are you so absent-minded today?"
Su Wan looked embarrassed. She hesitated for a while and finally made up an excuse.
"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little tired..."
This sentence was not a lie. Su Wan was tortured to death by Jiang Xuecheng yesterday. Later, when she met Ming Ye in the hotel, she couldn't help but start to worry about the relationship between Jiang Xuecheng and Shenting.
In this way, I didn't sleep for half the night and tossed and turned until dawn.
He got up early again the next day, just to get the Silver Tear Mine from Fiennes and successfully repair Nono.
When Su Wan said that she didn't sleep well last night, a trace of concern flashed across Fiennes's blue eyes.
"Are you a little tired from practicing the piano these days? Miss Su, you should pay more attention to rest when you go back. Do you want me to find a doctor to see you?"
Faced with Fiennes' overly enthusiastic attitude, coupled with an iceberg nearby, Su Wan really found it difficult to endure.
She quickly pulled the corners of her lips and shook her head vigorously to reject Fiennes' proposal.
"No, I just didn't sleep well last night. Thank you for your concern, Master Fiennes."
Su Wan said this, and immediately lowered her brows and pretended to eat seriously, while glancing at the man next to her out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Xuecheng was seen chewing slowly and his movements were extremely elegant, as if he was not affected at all by the interaction between Su Wan and Fiennes.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng's cold and indifferent look, Su Wan became more and more uneasy for some reason.
Su Wan used to think Jiang Xuecheng was easy to guess, but ever since Jiang Xuecheng changed his identity, she felt that she could no longer see through this man.
Jiang Xuecheng clearly hadn't said a word since he sat down, but she always felt that this man was angry.
But why was Jiang Xuecheng angry
It can't be for her, right
This man clearly didn't even remember who she was, so why was he angry
Thinking of this, a look of disappointment flashed across Su Wan's face. The food in this restaurant was not delicious to begin with, and it tasted even worse when eaten.
Su Wan stared down at the red lobster in the bowl and suddenly recalled the past scene.
The most delicious lobster Su Wan had ever eaten was not cooked in a restaurant, but was grilled outdoors on Wanwan Island with Jiang Xuecheng, making her favorite lobster of her life.
At that time, the sky was blue and the wind carried a slightly salty smell of the sea, while she and Jiang Xuecheng were on the beach, grilling lobsters carefreely.
Recalling the past, Su Wan couldn't help but pick up the lobster with her silver chopsticks. Although it didn't taste delicious, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Well, when can she and Jiang Xuecheng return to Wanwan Island again and grill the lobsters they caught
Jiang Xuecheng said he wanted to teach her how to swim, but she is still only a half-baked one...
When Fiennes saw the smile on Su Wan's lips, his eyes lit up, and he mistakenly thought that Su Wan thought the delicious lobster in this restaurant was to her taste.
"Miss Su, if you think it tastes good, why not have another lobster."
Before he finished speaking, Fiennes picked up another bright red lobster for Su Wan, which was still peeled and shelled.
The smile on Su Wan's lips faded. It was too late for her to refuse. She could only stare blankly at the extra red lobster in the bowl.
Not sure if it was Su Wan’s illusion, but Jiang Xuecheng didn’t look at her this time. However, Su Wan felt that the temperature around her had dropped by several degrees!
Su Wan really couldn't stand this atmosphere of ice and fire. She coughed lightly and spoke to Fiennes very seriously.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Fiennes. Actually, I'm full. You really don't have to serve me any more food."
Fiennes frowned. He glanced at the food in Su Wan's bowl which was hardly touched, mistakenly thinking that Su Wan was dieting.
Fiennes's frown deepened.
"Ms. Su, are you sure you're full? In fact, you're already very thin, so you don't need to control your appetite like this."
Hearing Fiennes' words, Su Wan felt embarrassed. She was not on a diet at all. She just couldn't eat in her current situation!
"No, I'm really full!"
Having said that, Su Wan put down his bowl and chopsticks and tried to reach out for the napkin box next to him, but unexpectedly, a pair of hands appeared in front of him.
The man who had remained calm all of a sudden took out two tissues from the box and handed them to her in a very cold manner.
Su Wan was stunned. She met Jiang Xuecheng's icy eyes and was stunned for a second.
The heartstrings seemed to be touched by something, and it took a while for them to return to their original shape.
Su Wan stretched out her hand somewhat unnaturally and quickly took the napkin handed to her by Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan wiped the corner of her mouth in panic, then realized that she hadn't said thank you yet. She quickly pretended to be flattered and nodded twice randomly to the icy man next to her.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you!"
Fiennes was stunned when he saw this scene. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Su Wan's behavior was understandable. After all, the son of the Divine Court had a noble status. Maybe she had always admired him in her heart
But it was very strange that the Emperor would reach out and hand Su Wan a tissue...
