When Su Wan heard this answer, she was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out... Fiennes said he wanted to marry her just to force Jiang Xuecheng out, but the next second, he immediately realized that his and Jiang Xuecheng's situation was worrying.
That man... there's no way he wouldn't come to save her.
Ever since that time on the cliff of the Ring Coast Highway, Su Wan had realized that she and Jiang Xuecheng had the same thoughts.
Even if the other party gives up his life, it doesn’t matter.
When Su Wan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a sour heat in her eyes, but her lips had already slowly curved up.
—In this life, if I can have a man like this who loves me deeply and is willing to give everything for me, I will have no regrets even if I die tomorrow, right
Fiennes obviously did not expect Sue to respond this way.
His deep blue eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked at Su Wan hesitantly.
"What are you laughing at? What's there to be happy about?"
Of course, Fiennes would not mistakenly believe that Su Wan was happy to hear that he was going to marry her. That is why Fiennes felt that Su Wan's happiness was a little inexplicable.
Su Wan looked at Fiennes calmly. She looked straight at him with a calm expression.
"Fiennes, why do you need to marry me? Actually, I am of little use to you. Why don't we discuss it? Your Highness and I will never interfere with your control of the Divine Court. How about we let each other go?"
Hearing Su Wan's answer, Fiennes' lips curled up into a sneer.
"Ms. Su, I think you are too naive. There are only two kinds of people in this world who will not betray you: one is your own people, and the other is the dead."
Feins paused, then suddenly lifted Su Wan's chin, forcing her to look at him.
Su Wan's face was pinched by the sharp edge of the other party's nails, leaving red marks. She cried out in pain, and although she was extremely angry, she gave up struggling for the time being.
If Fiennes is completely pissed off now, she might not even see tomorrow.
Only by enduring the anger for a while can you plan for the long term.
When Fiennes saw that Su Wan did not struggle, the smile on his lips deepened unconsciously, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes.
"A man of insight is a wise man, Miss Su. I kindly invite you to join my people, but you don't want to accompany others to die, do you?"
The strange and unpredictable voice echoed in the quiet space, making Su Wan feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
This is the most direct threat!
Su Wan's eyebrows were already furrowed into a knot, her hands hidden at her sides were clenched slightly, and her face looked a little unhappy.
"Master Fiennes, you are joking. However, I still hope that Master Fiennes will give more consideration to marriage. Once this matter is made public, won't Master Fiennes be afraid that others will laugh at him for marrying a commoner?"
Su Wan patiently advised him. She had always felt that the high priest and Tia both belittled their status as ordinary people. Fiennes had been influenced by the Siswell family and should know the importance of marriage.
Marrying a noble lady, at least in his career, would invisibly unite the two families, which would definitely be a great help to Fiennes.
Especially in the current situation.
However, before Su Wan could finish her words, Fiennes suddenly pushed Su Wan away with such force that Su Wan staggered two steps before he could stand still with the help of the wall.
What did I do to offend Fiennes
Su Wan was startled, and when she raised her eyes, she suddenly saw Fiennes' gloomy and handsome face.
His gaze fell on Su Wan, like a steel needle, with a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
"A commoner? Miss Su, if you think so, why did you agree to the proposal of the Emperor's son at the banquet?"
Su Wan didn't know that her words had indeed touched the deepest scar in Fiennes' heart.
All in all, his mother's background was even worse than Su Wan's.
His mother was a slave sold by her family and signed a death contract with the Siswell family, which was equivalent to a status lower than that of a civilian.
Fiennes had been looked down upon by countless people since he was a child. He still remembers the mocking looks in their eyes when they called him a bastard.
To this day, no one dares to mention it again, at least no one dares to mention it in front of him, but the talk behind his back cannot be stopped no matter what.
Fiennes wanted to marry Su Wan, partly to lure Jiang Xuecheng out, but another deeper meaning was to slap those people in the face.
He just wanted to rebel, go against his family's will, and prove that he could be successful by marrying a woman with no background.
He will reach the top.
Just rely on yourself.
And those who once looked down on him will be completely trampled under his feet.
…
Su Wan was stunned for a long time. She had never expected Fiennes to say that.
She knew very well that Fiennes might have some appreciation for her, but it was definitely not to the level of infatuation or even love.
So she didn't understand why Fiennes looked so angry and determined.
Su Wan rubbed his painful jaw, and then reminded Fiennes calmly.
"That's different. Your Highness and I are in love with each other, and what Master Fiennes wants is a marriage of exchange of benefits. If you want to maximize benefits, I am definitely not your ideal match."
"enough!"
Fiennes yelled at Su Wan angrily.
He had no idea why he was inferior to Jiang Xuecheng, and he didn't understand why Su Wan was trying to commit suicide.
If it wasn't for the fact that this woman happened to have something in her that he liked and was also of some use, he would have thrown Su Wan directly to Ye Keller to deal with!
"Ms. Su, I believe you were just confused for a moment. If that's the case, don't tell me again, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Fiennes looked at Su Wan coldly, his noble and handsome face was covered with dark clouds, as if a violent storm would come at any moment.
Su Wan's expression froze, knowing that Fiennes was determined now, and it was impossible for her to persuade him.
Fiennes had made that clear enough.
If she doesn't become what Fiennes calls "one of his own", she will be dead.
But she only wants to choose the third way!
Su Wan remained silent, knowing that now was not the time to anger this man.
Seeing that Su Wan was quite sensible, Fiennes narrowed his deep blue eyes dangerously, like hidden reefs in the deep sea, which could put people in danger of sinking at any time.
"I will announce our marriage to everyone tomorrow, and within ten days, we will hold our engagement ceremony."
"Don't worry, this is the engagement ceremony of the heir of the Siswell family. At least in the ceremony, I won't treat you unfairly."
Fiennes said this calmly, then walked towards the door like a gust of wind and closed it with a snap.
Only Su Wan was left with dazed eyes.
Engagement Ceremony…
Within ten days
