The Indifferent Young Master's Flash Marriage

Chapter 619: An Act?

Diya gritted her teeth as she stared at their hands. She felt like she was about to spew fire!

She had never thought that the emperor would actually hold someone’s hand in public!

Moreover, it was a young and beautiful woman!

Perhaps it was because her heart belonged to him, but when Diya ran over, she only noticed Jiang Xuecheng.

It made sense. Jiang Xuecheng stood out among so many young men and women like a crane among chickens, possessing the most distinct sense of existence.

It was clear that the others were also very outstanding, but because of this man’s existence, they were forcibly dwarfed, becoming a boring set.

Diya felt a strong sense of grievance in her heart. Without thinking, she directly ran in front of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng and asked aggressively.

“Your Highness, who is this woman?!”

Hearing this question, the emperor’s eyes suddenly darkened — Diya actually didn’t know Su Wan!

A few days ago, when Fiennes came to look for Su Wan, he used Diya’s obsession with Su Wan’s Guqin skills in name, wanting her to play the accompaniment again!

The man’s expression was cold and gloomy. Thinking back to Fiennes’ Guqin scores, the unhappiness in his heart grew stronger.

Ah, Fiennes, he was really bold.

He had already sent people to search for the scores, and the harvest was not small. It seemed that the scores Fiennes had found could just about be burned.

As for Fiennes’ scores, it would be more troublesome to keep them!

...

Diya did not hear the other party’s reply for a long time, and immediately felt that she had lost face!

Diya’s slender white fingers continuously twisted her clothes, and her expression became more and more pitiful. However, her pair of amber-colored beautiful eyes could not wait to stare at Su Wan until two holes appeared in her eyes.

She had never held the emperor’s hand before!

What kind of virtue and ability did this woman have?!

If Diya were to find out that her original plan at the birthday banquet was the direct cause of this scene, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Because the emperor and Miss Diya were blocking the entrance, it was not good for the guests to enter. They could only stand awkwardly at the side and watch the good show.

They were more and more curious about Su Wan’s identity to be treated so differently by the emperor.

If she was just an ordinary noble daughter and His Highness was only interested in Su Wan for a moment, then Su Wan would not have a good ending in the future.

Everyone present was smart and had a clear mind. Who could not tell that Diya was interested in His Highness?

Tsk, there would be a good show to watch tonight.

Just when the atmosphere was neither too high nor too low, a burst of loud laughter suddenly came from behind and broke the deadlock.

Everyone heard the laughter and looked forward angrily.

The person who came was Fiennes. He was wearing a casual suit with two loose buttons on the shirt underneath. His blue eyes were like the sparkling sea, incomparably sentimental.

Fiennes walked over slowly. He tidied up his shirt with a lazy expression and a smile on his lips.

“Diya, how could you forget? This is Miss Su that I mentioned to you. Don’t you remember the Guqin player at your birthday party?”

Diya seemed to have woken up from a dream. She glanced at the woman in a light blue gown and suddenly remembered Su Wan’s identity!

So it was this woman!

Although Fiennes would mention Su Wan from time to time, she only thought that she was a good Guqin player. Diya would not spend too much effort to look into her.

Back then, when she went to practice the classical dance, she spent so much effort, but in the end, it was all for naught. She did not even get a line of praise from His Highness!

She was not in the mood to care about the accompaniment!

Oh right, Fiennes seemed to have mentioned that he wanted to take this woman from the God’s Palace. He said that being a chef was too much for Su Wan?!

She was just a chef. Thinking about it, she would not pose any threat.

Moreover, Fiennes did not mention that Su Wan lived on the same floor as the emperor!

It was only until today that Diya finally took note of Su Wan.

If she did not know that this woman came from a humble background and saw Su Wan dressed like a princess today, she might really have thought that Su Wan was the daughter of some aristocratic family!

She glanced at Su Wan from the corner of her eyes. The originally aggrieved expression on her face receded and became 100% arrogant!

“Oh, brother, I remember now. It’s that chef who does odd jobs in the God’s Palace?!”

As she spoke, Diya began to giggle. Her expression was one of sudden realization.

Before Diya could finish her sentence, the others present were already stunned.

What was going on?!

With just a few words from Diya, Su Wan could feel many inquisitive gazes landing on her. They were slightly more apprehensive than before, but now, they were becoming more brazen. There were even hints of contempt and ridicule!

Although this kind of banquet was not large in scale, it was definitely of a high standard!

Under the rule of the God’s Palace, order was strict. How could the children of noble families look up to a commoner woman.

Moreover, Su Wan was just a lowly servant!

There were already many people pointing fingers at Su Wan everywhere, and their expressions were extremely displeased.

“What? I thought she was some rich young lady, but her status is actually so low. How can she stand with His Highness?”

“That’s right, as expected, people rely on clothes. Look at her, she’s just a servant. Just because she’s a little pretty, she can turn from a sparrow into a phoenix.”

“But her temperament seems really good. I can’t tell that she’s a servant at all...”

“Maybe His Highness had someone give her a surprise etiquette training class. Tsk Tsk, His Highness is giving her too much credit by letting her stand by his side...”

Those seemingly intentional and unintentional words were heard. Su Wan pursed her lips slightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She had long known that these aristocratic families actually had extreme disrespect in their hearts. In fact, she might even be only a vase in their hearts.

To Su Wan’s surprise, the strength of Jiang Xuecheng’s grip on her hand suddenly increased.

That warm palm seemed to want to give her some strength.

“Let’s go in.”

These five simple words were filled with undisguised concern.

Su Wan was stunned. She raised her eyes to look at the man beside her, only to see Jiang Xuecheng shift his gaze and sweep over his surroundings.

That pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to have been dyed with ice and snow, causing those who were swept by it to feel a chill in their hearts.

“I see that some people here aren’t afraid of speaking nonsense.”

The people who had been whispering earlier instantly stopped. They looked at each other and suddenly felt some lingering fear.

The entire place was completely silent. It was so quiet that only the sound of insects could be heard.

The man was very satisfied with this effect. He reached out to stroke the ends of Su Wan’s hair and held Su Wan’s hand as they walked out from the crowd, looking extremely doting.

Su Wan had never seen Jiang Xuecheng treat her so gently when he had a normal IQ, and it also seemed to be a little deliberate.

Was It for show?

This answer popped up in Su Wan’s mind, but she still couldn’t help but feel a burst of joy in her heart.

No matter what the reason was, he was protecting her.

That was enough.
