Chapter 618: Like A Thorn To The Throat And To The Back

The banquet was held at a manor that was under the banner of the Duke of Siswell’s family.

This was the first time Su Wan had come to this place. Although she had been born into a wealthy family and was used to seeing all sorts of luxurious backgrounds, she was still somewhat astonished by the wealth of the Siswell family after she had followed Jiang Xuecheng here.

As the head of the four great families, the Siswell family had shown over the past few years that they were almost on par with the God’s Palace.

Just looking at this majestic building from the outside, it wasn’t the least bit inferior to Jiang Xuecheng’s residence at the God’s Palace.

Moreover, the guards and maids at the entrance were all handsome men and beautiful women. What a grand scene.

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng sat in the maglev carriage. They saw the guests walking into the manor one after another. Every one of them was well-dressed and noble.

When the young men and women entered the manor, they whispered to each other from time to time. From such a distance, Su Wan could hear the laughter of the young masters and young ladies.

Each and every one of them was a dragon or phoenix among men. They were favored by the heavens and had been pampered since they were young.

Because Jiang Xuecheng did not get off the car, Su Wan naturally could not.

She sat quietly in the passenger seat and watched the young masters and young ladies chatting happily. She only took a few more glances and felt bored.

Just watching those people chatting and laughing from afar made Su Wan feel very tired.

The smiles were polite and flawless. That kind of back-and-forth posture was perfect.

In fact, Su Wan was a little asocial. Other than the people she was close to, she was tired of socializing with others.

Su Wan waited for a long time in boredom, but she still didn’t see Jiang Xuecheng intending to get off the car, so she simply reminded him softly.

“Your Highness, aren’t we leaving?”

She was a little tired from sitting here. She really wanted to go back to sleep.

The gentle female voice fell behind, and there was a wave of silence. From afar, the laughter of young girls could be heard from time to time. It was crisp and moving.

They came but didn’t go in. What was the big deal?

Su Wan curled her lips helplessly. She thought that Jiang Xuecheng wouldn’t answer, but she suddenly heard a clear and smooth male voice.

“Let’s go.”

A simple word weighed a thousand pounds in her heart.

When Su Wan heard this, her brows relaxed. It was not that she was very interested in the party, but that she wanted to end it as soon as possible and leave immediately.

In fact, Su Wan had always been very curious about the exact time when Jiang Xuecheng’s second personality woke up.

That was because at seven or eight o’clock in the evening, Jiang Xuecheng was clearly still full of vigor. It was no different from during the day.

However, since no one had noticed the abnormality in Jiang Xuecheng, and Jiang Xuecheng also had these kinds of dinners from time to time, it meant that Jiang Xuecheng should be able to last until eleven or twelve o’clock at night, right?

Su Wan fell into deep thought. Before she had time to think clearly, she heard an impatient voice.

“Why aren’t you getting off?”

Su Wan suddenly raised her head and saw that Jiang Xuecheng had opened the cabin door at some point, looking extremely impatient.

Su Wan smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly followed behind the car and jumped off.

The maglev car of Jiang Xuecheng was parked in the dark. The noble men and women in the light did not notice the arrival of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan at first.

It was unknown who cried out first.

“It’s His Highness!”

Then, it immediately caused quite a stir in the crowd.

The people who were outside chatting passionately all looked towards the source of the voice.

They saw a young man and a young woman standing not too far away. The two of them stood side by side, looking like a beautiful pair. They immediately snatched the attention of the entire arena.

That young man was tall and slender. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his appearance was so handsome that he looked like a sculpture.

He wore a long black windbreaker on the outside, and a simple pure-colored shirt on the inside. The buttons were buttoned to the top without any mess. He looked strict and did not allow anyone to look at him directly.

This man who was dressed in an elegant and noble manner was undoubtedly the newly promoted emperor of the God’s Palace.

However, where did that woman who was standing next to the Emperor come from?!

Su Wan stood next to Jiang Xuecheng with a calm expression on her face. Her beautiful brows were as calm as water. She allowed the gazes of others to move back and forth on her body, but she remained still.

The light blue gown that was tailored to fit her body made her figure even more slender. There were no decorations on Su Wan’s entire body. Only the blue diamond bracelet on her right wrist sparkled, attracting the most attention.

Under the moonlight, Su Wan was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world, not tainted by the slightest bit of secular dust.

There were naturally many beautiful women in this world, but this woman was actually not suppressed by the Emperor’s aura. Instead, she appeared extremely natural, as if she was born this way!

How could they not be dumbfounded?!

Everyone looked at Su Wan in bewilderment. A few noblemen who could not hold themselves back began to whisper among themselves.

Looking at Su Wan’s bearing, she should have an extraordinary background, but why did it seem like they had never seen her before?!

Was she the daughter of a nobleman who had always been pampered at home and was reluctant to see others?

Many men’s gazes were fixed on Su Wan, some of them even looked very direct and bold, as if they were quite interested in Su Wan.

The emperor frowned, suddenly regretting pulling Su Wan out as a shield.

In his heart, since Su Wan was already his, she was naturally his property, and he wouldn’t allow others to have any thoughts about her.

The emperor didn’t even think about it, and suddenly grabbed Su Wan’s wrist.

That slender wrist in his hand instantly made the man’s expression look a bit better.

However, Su Wan was completely unprepared. In the face of Jiang Xuecheng’s sudden action, the expression on her face almost changed.

Why did he suddenly want to hold her hand?

Su Wan furrowed her beautiful brows. Just as Su Wan was puzzled, she suddenly heard a sweet and clear cry flying over from not far away.

“Your Highness! You actually came! I thought brother was lying to me!”

Before she arrived, a string of laughter that sounded like silver bells entered his ears first, followed by hurried and powerful footsteps.

Without a doubt, it was Diya who ran out from inside.

This time, it was not only Su Wan who frowned, the man who was holding Su Wan’s hand also frowned.

In a few seconds, a slender and beautiful figure appeared outside the door. The people beside her hurriedly retreated, afraid that they would bump into the eldest daughter of the Siswell family.

Diya’s personality was a little unruly. In addition, she was of noble birth. Ordinary people could not afford to offend her.

Diya looked at the person in front of her with an infatuated expression. Her face was slightly hot, and she lowered her head in a rare manner. She was completely acting like a child.

“Your Highness, good evening.”

“Good evening.”

The emperor nodded his head lightly. He had no intention to talk more with Diya, so he directly held Su Wan’s hand and walked forward without looking sideways.

Su Wan did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng would suddenly exert force. She staggered forward. Fortunately, she stopped in time and did not make a fool of herself.

Because she was ignored by the person she liked, Diya’s expression froze. When she saw that Jiang Xuecheng was holding Su Wan’s hand, the smile on her face immediately disappeared!

Who was this woman?!
