Su Wan pretended to be angry and glared at Fiennes, but sweat had already seeped out of her palms.
It's impossible not to be afraid.
Su Wan was worried that she could not convince Fiennes, and she was also afraid that Tia would change her mind at the last minute and tell her brother about her decision to escape.
Su Wan didn't expect that she was so bold as to bet with that rich girl.
After all, their relationship used to be... almost a life-and-death struggle.
Seeing Fiennes hesitate, Su Wan felt more and more uneasy, but her chin was held high.
He looked as if he had been wronged by Tia, but was determined to get it back.
"Why, you don't want to?! It turns out that what you said at the beginning, at least to save face, was all a lie!"
Su Wan gritted her teeth, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She even began to admire her own acting skills!
However, to be honest, Su Wan was so scared when living in the Shanshui Villa these days that he couldn't even sleep well at night.
The grievance is real.
But it wasn't caused by Tia.
…
Fiennes was a little stunned.
And Su Wan just looked at him with a stubborn look.
It was clearly an extremely arrogant attitude, but because of those red eyes, it seemed a bit weak.
When Fiennes saw Su Wan's appearance, for some reason, something seemed to be touched in his heart.
When he pushed the door open and heard Su Wan's words, "You nobles, do you look down on people so much?", he felt an unspeakable pain.
That kind of pain did not come from Su Wan, but from scenes that happened long ago.
It was as if he saw the shadow of his mother in Su Wan.
Even though Su Wan was much stronger than his weak mother, deep down... there were probably always one or two similarities between them.
Fiennes's azure eyes flickered, and his expression softened a little as he looked at Su Wan.
"Why do you have to live under the same roof with Tia? My sister is arrogant and looks down on everyone. If you really move into the Siswell family, you will definitely have a very unhappy life with her."
Su Wan and Tia have always been at odds with each other, and for a while they were even at loggerheads, so Fiennes did not consider this situation to be false.
He never thought that his beloved sister would join forces with Su Wan to deceive him.
Even if Tia did this, it was largely for Fiennes' good.
In Tia's opinion, a marriage without love is worse off than not having it, and Su Wan and her brother are obviously not suitable.
…
When Su Wan heard Fiennes say this, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that Fiennes was trying to use this to shut her up.
But how could she give up so easily!
Su Wan glanced at Fiennes angrily, and her voice suddenly became higher in pitch, as if she was really extremely angry!
"I knew you were going to say that, but Fiennes, have you ever thought about how it would feel if you were to marry me and I was looked down upon by everyone?"
Are you looked down upon by everyone? …
When Fiennes heard this, his fingertips suddenly clenched, and his thin finger bones turned pale.
How could he not know what it feels like to be looked down upon by others
Every word Su Wan said was like a knife, constantly reminding Fiennes of the past when he was looked down upon.
Obviously, it is such a distant thing, but looking around now, who would dare not be in awe of him
However, those scars are a pain that can never be healed.
So much so that when he saw Su Wan being despised for being a commoner, he would think of his past...
He is proud, but also deeply inferior. That mark is like an indelible brand.
Fiennes woke up from his thoughts, his expression stiffened a little, but he finally gave in to Su Wan.
"Okay, then I'll take you back."
Su Wan felt relieved and blurted out the answer without thinking.
"Really?"
Realizing that he looked too excited, Su Wan immediately reacted and pretended to be incredulous.
At this moment, Fiennes had not yet completely broken free from his own world. With a faint smile on his lips, he suddenly mentioned something.
"Of course it's true. Although there are many courtyards in the headquarters of the Siswell family, since you want to be legitimate, you will live with me starting tomorrow."
Before Su Wan could feel happy for even two seconds, she was shocked by the news!
Her face turned pale and she immediately refused.
"No! We should not live together for now!"
…
Fiennes's face stiffened slightly, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his previous gentle attitude disappeared in an instant.
He originally thought that Su Wan had really let it go!
Seeing Su Wan's hasty rejection, how could Fiennes not see that Su Wan didn't actually accept him at all.
He even began to doubt Su Wan's attitude just now.
Fiennes himself is a very suspicious person.
It's not that easy to deceive.
"Why do you refuse?"
Fiennes' thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and his deep blue eyes were dimly lit, like a lake under the moonlight, making it hard to fathom.
Su Wan also realized that she had refused too quickly, which might arouse suspicion.
She reluctantly grasped her palms, feeling the sharp pain, and finally regained some consciousness.
The expression on his face became more natural.
"I don't want people to think that we are getting married because of pregnancy and cause a lot of gossip from the servants."
Su Wan straightened her back and looked at Fiennes very calmly. Even though her thoughts were churning like waves, she did not reveal any sign of abnormality.
"Do I have a suitable compound to live alone? I want to find one so that we won't be talked about before we officially hold our wedding ceremony."
Su Wan wanted to find a courtyard to live alone because she was afraid that it would be bad if their troubles spread to others.
It is best to find a remote location with few people. This will make it easier for you to act privately and will not attract attention when you escape, nor will it hurt innocent people.
…
When Fiennes saw her like this, he thought Su Wan was really too proud of herself.
In fact, he understands that kind of pride and doesn't want anyone to see through him.
Even those people are nothing more than the most humble ants in their own eyes.
Fiennes thought about it and finally decided to compromise.
"That's fine, but Su Wan, you can only live there for half a month at most, because in half a month, it will be our wedding ceremony, so you have to move out naturally."
Of course he wouldn't let Su Wan do whatever she wanted.
This half month is a buffer period and also the final warning to Su Wan.
Advise her not to have any other thoughts.
Otherwise, you will harm others and yourself.
…
Half a month
Su Wan felt a faint sense of anxiety in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at all.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, nodding at Fiennes.
"Okay! All I want is some respect. I don't care about anything else."
