Chapter 632: Su Wan’s Acting Was Too Good?
Su Wan’s eyes flickered. She stared at the gorgeous lavender gown in front of her, but she didn’t extend her hand.
For some reason, when she saw the gown, her right eyelid kept twitching, and she felt a subtle discomfort.
It was said that the left eye twitched for money, and the right eye twitched for disaster. She felt that every time her right eyelid twitched, nothing good would happen.
“Miss Su, what’s wrong? Do you think this gown is not good-looking?”
Xiao Xia saw that Su Wan had been silent at the side, but she had no intention of changing. She could not help but frown and kindly advised her.
“Miss Su, there are no other clothes here. You’d better make do with them. After all, wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear on the body, and it’s easy to get sick.”
Su Wan glanced at the wet clothes on her body, then turned her face to the round-faced maid, Xiao Xia, and nodded slightly.
“Yes, you’re right. I’ll go change right away.”
Her right eyelid kept twitching. It was probably because she had been put in a difficult position by Diya too many times tonight.
She hoped that the banquet would be quieter. Su Wan felt that she could hold on for another half an hour or an hour, and then she would be able to return to the God’s Palace with Jiang Xuecheng.
Before she finished speaking, Su Wan stretched out her slender fingers and held the lavender gown in her hand. She walked quickly to the changing room.
Xiao Xia saw the heavy gown in Su Wan’s hand and asked kindly.
“Miss Su, can you wear it by yourself? Do you want me to help you?”
Su Wan looked at the heavy purple gown in her hand. After making sure that the zipper of the gown was within her reach and that the design of the gown itself was not complicated, she shook her head at Xiao Xia.
“No need. Thank you for your kindness.”
As she said that, Su Wan ran into the changing room.
Perhaps due to her conservative personality, Su Wan was not used to having others help her put on her clothes. The two people, Jiang Xuecheng and Lin Fei’er, were exceptions.
...
Su Wan changed into her dress in the changing room. After making sure that the dress was correct, she walked out from inside.
Diya’s body size was about the same as Su Wan’s, so there was basically nothing that Su Wan was not used to while wearing this dress.
Xiao Xia was stunned when she saw Su Wan dressed in purple.
Su Wan’s skin was white, and she looked good in anything, even purple, a color that was hard to control.
The rarest thing was that Su Wan also had a special temperament. She might not be the most beautiful one in the crowd, but the more she looked at her, the more comfortable they felt. When one’s gaze fell on her, it was difficult to move away.
Xiao Xia bit the corner of her lips. She couldn’t help but feel a little envious–she had just heard others discussing Su Wan’s identity. So this so-called Miss Su was just an ordinary maid in the God’s Palace.
To be treated so favorably by the emperor, she was just waiting to fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix. It was really a good life.
Su Wan didn’t know what Xiao Xia was thinking. She only thought that Xiao Xia was in a daze. She stretched out her hand and waved in front of Xiao Xia.
“I’m done changing. Shall we go down?”
Xiao Xia snapped back to her senses and quickly followed Su Wan’s footsteps. The two of them walked towards the garden of the banquet.
...
After bringing Su Wan back to the front door of the banquet, Xiao Xia left on her own.
Su Wan was about to walk in when she suddenly saw that the people not far away had stopped dancing. There was not even the sound of people making any noise.
What was going on?
Su Wan was slightly stunned. She walked in and found that the young masters and young ladies had automatically stood in two rows, as if they were going to welcome some big shot.
Who could make such a big scene?
When Jiang Xuecheng came earlier, although it had caused quite a stir, it was still far from being comparable to this kind of solemn silence.
Su Wan was speechless. Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly heard a man’s voice beside her. It was deep like flowing water, slowly flowing into her heart.
“You’re back.”
When she heard those faint words, Su Wan suddenly turned her head and saw that Jiang Xuecheng had come to her side without her knowing.
“You look very good in purple.”
The man’s gaze swept past Su Wan’s clothes and let out a calm sigh of praise.
Su Wan did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would praise her so directly. She smiled and nodded.
“Thank you.”
Su Wan swept her gaze across the two rows of people. She wanted to ask what was going on with Jiang Xuecheng’s current situation, but a woman’s voice that was as sweet as an oriole sounded beside her ear.
“Miss Su, it turns out that my dress is also very suitable for you. However, I bought this dress a little larger. I was thinking of getting someone to resize it. If you like it, Miss Su, I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
Su Wan looked up and saw Diya standing not far away, looking at her with a smile. Beside her was Fiennes.
Seeing the undisguised smile on Diya’s face, Su Wan’s eyelids suddenly twitched twice.
That strange feeling became stronger and stronger.
Su Wan could feel that Diya was genuinely happy. However, she did not believe that Diya wanted to give her a dress with good intentions.
A high-class dress was definitely custom-made. How could this lavender dress be bigger?
Su Wan was puzzled, but she suppressed her doubts and asked the question she wanted to ask earlier.
“Your Highness, why is everyone not dancing anymore? is the banquet about to end?”
However, which banquet was so serious when it ended?!
Standing beside Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to answer Su Wan’s question, he was snatched away by Diya who was not far away.
“Miss Su, how is that possible? You don’t know that the high priest is coming. Today’s banquet is finally about to officially begin!”
Su Wan looked at the bright and beautiful smile on Diya’s face and could not help but frown.
Why did it feel like she had just changed into a new set of clothes? This young lady seemed to have changed into a completely different person and even kindly answered her questions.
Su Wan was thinking about what Diya had just said. For the young lady of the Siswell family to address her like that, it showed that the other party must have a very high status, right?!
“High... Priest?”
Su Wan’s beautiful brows were slightly furrowed. She slowly said out these words with complete confusion.
When the man standing beside her saw Su Wan’s expression, his eyes suddenly darkened.
“Su Wan, you don’t know the high priest?”
He said these words very quickly, even with a hint of aggressiveness.
Su Wan tilted her head to look at Jiang Xuecheng. When she suddenly met those deep eyes, Su Wan’s heart tightened.
“I... Should I know him?”
As she spoke, Su Wan’s eyes widened slightly. Her beautiful pupils were exceptionally bright, like an ignorant child.
The emperor scrutinized her, as if he was trying to tell if Su Wan was acting.
However, Su Wan’s expression was too real, and he actually couldn’t see anything strange.
There was a period of time when he even suspected that Su Wan was a spy sent by someone. After interacting with her for many days, he felt that Su Wan was too stupid.
Or perhaps, Su Wan’s acting was too great...
Just when the atmosphere was stagnant, a wave of restlessness suddenly appeared in front of them.
“The high priest has arrived!”
