Chapter 571: Falsely Accusing Her

Fiennes frowned. His pair of deep blue eyes faintly lit up as he discreetly looked at the man across the table.

The emperor was really unusual today. It was already surprising enough that they were going to have lunch together, but now he actually took the initiative to pass a tissue to Su Wan...

If anyone else had done it, it wouldn’t be strange at all. However, it was too shocking that the emperor, who always kept people away from him, was doing such a thing.

But the emperor acted as if nothing had happened, calmly sitting on the chair.

No matter how much Fiennes racked his brain, he couldn’t guess what the Emperor was thinking.

It could only be attributed to the emperor’s temperament, that he did things without a pattern.

Seeing that the Emperor had already put down his chopsticks, and Su Wan was sitting quietly at the side, she looked like she was watching the situation.

Since they were not eating, Fiennes simply put down the chopsticks in his hand.

He stood up and smiled at the man and woman opposite him, revealing a perfect smile.

“Your Highness, since we have already finished lunch, let’s part ways here. I still have matters to attend to with Miss Su.”

Fiennes thought that the emperor would straight away nod and turn around, but he did not expect the other party to suddenly throw a question at him.

The other party’s voice was clear and cold, like the wind that blew past his ears in the early winter. There was a hint of coldness in his voice.

“What matters between you and her?”

He did not know why, but when he heard these few short words, Fiennes’s heart sank for some reason. He had a bad premonition.

Why was the emperor suddenly so interested in his matters today?

First, he asked if he could eat with them. Now, he even came to investigate his schedule.

Could it be that the matter last night had caused the emperor to be more wary of the Siswell family, and was prepared to probe his and Diya’s plans for the future?

A gloomy light flashed through Fiennes’s eyes. He suppressed the worry in his heart, and reported to the emperor in a very magnanimous manner.

“It’s nothing much. I promised to bring Miss Su a piece of silver tear ore, and I just happened to leave it at home. I’m preparing to let Miss Su follow me home to retrieve it.”

In an instant, Su Wan saw the man beside her looking at her. His pair of deep-sea eyes made it impossible for his emotions to be read.

Su Wan bit the corner of her lips. She did not know what Jiang Xuecheng meant.

However, very quickly, Su Wan was shocked!

“Since it’s not something important, then Fiennes, lend Su Wan to me for the afternoon.”

The man’s cold voice was neither light nor heavy. He spoke casually, as if he was simply describing the weather.

What did he mean by borrowing her for the afternoon?

Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She turned her head in shock and looked up at the man beside her.

Jiang Xuecheng was sitting indifferently beside her. His eyes were calm, and his flawless cheek was like the most perfect work by God’s hands.

She gulped, not understanding what Jiang Xuecheng was trying to do.

As for Fiennes, who was standing opposite Su Wan, his expression suddenly changed.

It turned out that the person that the emperor was interested in was Su Wan.

Fiennes recalled that at the banquet, the Emperor had once said that he was interested in the accompanist who played the Guqin. At that time, he had said that he wanted to borrow them for two days.

So, was he even more interested now that he saw the real person?

Fiennes glanced at the emperor and Su Wan hesitantly. When he saw that Su Wan’s face was also filled with undisguised shock, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his gaze shifted to the emperor.

“Your Highness, I’m afraid that this will depend on Miss Su’s wishes. It’s not good for me to make decisions for Miss Su.”

Although the ore could be delivered at any time, since Su Wan was unwilling to leave after sitting in this shop for three hours, it was clear that she really wanted the ore.

Therefore, Fiennes was betting that Su Wan would follow him.

He could see that Su Wan had a faint fear in her eyes when she looked at the emperor.

Although it was not obvious, he could still observe Su Wan’s every move.

When the emperor heard this, he lifted his eyelids and looked at Su Wan.

“Su Wan, do you want to follow me? I’m very interested in your Guqin playing. Although the silver tear ore is rare on the market, if you need it, I can get someone to give it to you at any time.”

Fiennes did not expect that the emperor would directly tell Su Wan that he could give the silver tear ore to her. Wasn’t that clearly snatching her away?!

If it was not at the banquet, he wouldn’t have heard the emperor say that he was interested in the Guqin player.

Otherwise, Fiennes would have thought that the emperor had other intentions towards Su Wan.

Fiennes sighed helplessly in his heart. Well, it seemed that he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Su Wan looked at the extremely familiar but also extremely unfamiliar face in front of her. She was stunned,

Alright, now that the ball was thrown to her, should she accept it?

Although Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was so flat that there were no ripples, Su Wan had been with him for a long time. She knew that this man was actually very stubborn.

He did not like, and would not allow others to go against his wishes.

Su Wan opened her mouth with some difficulty.

“Since His Highness likes the Guqin I play, he is my bosom friend. I am willing to go with His Highness.”

In fact, she had to report to the God’s Palace sooner or later. One day earlier or one day later did not make any difference. Today, it was just that the situation was a little awkward.

As soon as Su Wan finished speaking, she looked at Fiennes apologetically, “I’m sorry, Young Master Fiennes.”

Fiennes could only smile helplessly. Speaking of which, it was his fault. If he hadn’t been late, he wouldn’t have dragged the emperor into this mess.

However, what was going on? Wasn’t his luck a little too bad!

If he had known that the Emperor liked to listen to the Guqin, he would have given him seven or eight Guqin players. He wouldn’t have been in such an awkward situation today.

He had wanted to spend more time with Su Wan to cultivate some feelings, but it was ruined just like that!

Seriously!

...

Su Wan stood beside Jiang Xuecheng. She waved her hand and said goodbye to Fiennes with a smile.

Just as Fiennes’ maglev car disappeared from her sight, she suddenly heard a low voice next to her with undisguised mockery.

“What, you can’t bear to part with him?”

Su Wan was stunned for half a second before she realized what Jiang Xuecheng was talking about.

Su Wan frowned. She didn’t understand why Jiang Xuecheng was so weird. She felt uncomfortable listening to it.

“Your Highness, you’re thinking too much.”

Before Su Wan finished her sentence, the man who was three steps away from her suddenly walked up to her.

Sensing that Jiang Xuecheng was approaching, Su Wan suddenly felt an indescribable pressure.

Sometimes, she felt that it was not a good thing for Jiang Xuecheng to be too tall. It was like a shadow that blotted out the sky and made it difficult for her to breathe.

The man lowered his head and glanced at Su Wan’s beautiful and clean face. There was an obvious coldness in his eyes.

“Su Wan, you said you admired me before, but why did you pretend to not know me in the cafe?”

Su Wan’s pupils immediately widened when she heard that!

Please, who was the first one who pretended not to know the other!

Even if you want to falsely accuse someone, you still have to figure out the situation first!
