Hearing Su Wan's merciless words, the gentle smile on Fiennes' face suddenly disappeared from the corner of his lips.
Sometimes he was really curious why Su Wan was so arrogant and would rather break than bend in this situation.
A commoner woman had the guts to cheat on His Highness, and when the truth was revealed, she wasn't afraid at all.
She doesn't look very strong, but she is not as fragile as imagined either. In short, she has a very contradictory temperament.
It makes people want to explore.
Fiennes stared at Su Wan deeply, his lips slightly raised in a playful smile.
Perhaps this is why the Emperor's son risked his life to jump into the water to save her
Su Wan didn't expect that after she said that, Fiennes not only did not retreat, but continued to look at her with a playful smile.
Facing Fiennes' burning gaze, Su Wan felt like a prey being targeted.
And Fiennes is the hunter, watching closely and making it difficult for people to escape from the net he sets.
Being looked at like this, Su Wan felt very uncomfortable...
She began to feel that the previous sentence was not strong enough and could not help but add another sentence.
"Also, I'm just a beginner at playing the guqin. I'm far from being worthy of the title of an artist. If you like the guqin, you should find a professional."
Su Wan believed that Fiennes could understand the implied meaning of this sentence, but the other party's shamelessness was obviously beyond her expectations.
Fiennes looked at Su Wan with a smile on his face. That smile wasn't very earnest, but it had an ambiguous feel to it.
"But I only like your piano playing."
It was just a simple sentence, and the voice was low and calm, but if an ordinary girl were here, the content of this sentence would probably make people feel embarrassed.
But Su Wan was not embarrassed at all, even her heartbeat did not speed up, but the veins on her forehead could not help but twitch twice.
Fiennes deliberately said these words to tease her. Su Wan almost suspected that this man wanted to work with Tia to make trouble for her for the sake of his sister
"That's because you've met too few pianists!"
Su Wan responded without hesitation, her face already showing some anger.
She had rejected it so clearly, but Fiennes pretended not to understand. What a…
Fiennes nodded calmly, his smile still intact.
"Miss Su, what you said is right, but it's hard to find someone who can play the guqin now, right? Why don't you introduce someone to me, Miss Su?"
Fiennes stared at Su Wan steadily. He spoke seriously, but the playful smile on his face made him even more seductive.
Faced with someone like Fiennes, who has a thicker skin than a city wall, Su Wan could only feel a headache.
"That's your own business!"
She replied coldly, and then she was too lazy to pay attention to Fiennes anymore. She bent down and immediately lifted the quilt to look for her shoes on the floor.
"Miss Su, where are you going?"
Fiennes was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Wan putting on her shoes. He raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Su Wan to want to go out.
Seeing Su Wan changed her shoes, Fiennes immediately came over warmly.
"Ms. Su, I heard from the doctor that your ankle is injured. Is it really okay for you to walk? Do you want me to help you?"
Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart and said something unhappily.
"No, I can do it myself, thank you!"
Su Wan said this and walked towards the door slowly.
In order to prevent the wound on her ankle from reopening, Su Wan didn't dare to challenge fast walking. She just couldn't stand Fiennes' chattering in her ears, so she wanted to leave this place.
However, only Su Wan knew that there was another secret reason.
Tia said earlier that Jiang Xuecheng was seriously injured, especially with a hole in his knee. Su Wan couldn't help but want to go see him.
Now that Fiennes is in such a state of unrest, she has a legitimate reason to leave.
She had already made up her mind to leave the Divine Court and didn't want to have any more entanglement with Jiang Xuecheng, but if she wanted to let go, it wouldn't be that easy.
No matter what, at least Jiang Xuecheng's injury was caused by her. Su Wan hoped that Jiang Xuecheng would get better soon.
Seeing that Su Wan insisted on leaving by herself, Fiennes did not force her. He followed Su Wan with a smile on his face and started a conversation.
"Miss Su, are you going to see the Emperor?"
Su Wan was too lazy to even look at Fiennes. She simply nodded indifferently and walked stubbornly to the other end of the corridor.
Fiennes was not discouraged when he saw that Su Wan ignored him. Instead, he began to tell the story with great interest.
The content of the talk was about Tiya, who was sometimes in high spirits while speaking, and sometimes with a bit of doting and helplessness towards her sister.
Su Wan listened to what he said but didn't reply. She could tell that Fiennes was really good to his sister.
It's just that at this moment, when you are alone but feel that others care about each other, it will hurt your sensitive heart even more.
Fiennes and Tia might be a good pair of siblings, but Su Wan couldn't say enough good things about their attitude towards outsiders.
When they were almost at the door of Jiang Xuecheng's ward, Fiennes finally stopped his chattering.
What surprised Su Wan was that the door of the ward was not closed but opened directly.
Su Wan and Fiennes walked over one after the other.
When Su Wan saw the scene inside, he froze instantly, and all the blood drained from his face.
There were two people in Jiang Xuecheng's ward. Besides Jiang Xuecheng himself, the other one was naturally the eldest lady of the Siswell family, Tia.
But that's not the point.
The point is, Tia and Jiang Xuecheng are hugging each other at this moment.
The petite girl threw herself on Jiang Xuecheng, her bright face full of attachment.
Su Wan couldn't see Jiang Xuecheng's expression at the moment, but she could only feel that Jiang Xuecheng did not refuse. His slender arms were placed on Tia's back, with his knuckles clearly visible.
Under the light, the two people depended on each other, the man was handsome and the woman was pretty, just like they were in an idol drama, so perfectly matched!
Su Wan bit her lower lip tightly, feeling that this scene was like a knife, cutting her heart open.
The words of Tia's earlier protest suddenly reappeared in my ears, extremely clear.
"Su Wan, you should know, right? A woman like you, who was born in a bad family, has now caused such a ridiculous incident. His Highness has done his utmost for you."
"And what about me? I am the eldest daughter of the Siswell family. Sooner or later, I will become His Highness's bride in a grand ceremony. So don't be so foolish about His Highness!"
One voice after another, domineering.
Su Wan's hand trembled, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in haze, as if everything had lost its luster.
Su Wan couldn't help but secretly mock herself. She had said she wanted to leave, so why couldn't she help feeling heartbroken when faced with this kind of scene
She pursed her lips, turned around and strode away before even stepping into the room.
