When Fiennes saw Su Wan’s pleading expression, his expression suddenly froze.
Su Wan actually asked him to chase after the emperor?
Su Wan looked at Fiennes without blinking. She glanced at the man who was about to disappear at the corner of the corridor. The expression on her face became more and more anxious.
“Can you? I twisted my ankle and can’t run, but I really have something to tell him.”
Fiennes lowered his head and glanced at Su Wan, as if he was trying to tell if the anxiety on Su Wan’s face was serious.
Previously, Su Wan had called him “Your Highness” many times, but he did not see the emperor turn around. It was obvious how much the emperor did not want to see Su Wan.
Was Su Wan acting like this just to beg the Emperor for mercy?
Seeing how Su Wan looked like she was about to cry, if he did not know that Su Wan was pregnant with a wild child of unknown origin, he might really think that Su Wan liked the emperor.
Fiennes pursed his lips. He was silent for two seconds before he finally spoke.
“Okay, I’ll call His Highness over for you. Miss Su, you’ve sprained your ankle. Stay here and wait for me. Don’t move.”
Su Wan nodded and revealed a sincere smile on her face.
“Thank you, thank you!”
Su Wan hurriedly thanked him because she knew that if she did not let Fiennes call Jiang Xuecheng over, Jiang Xuecheng would not want to see her in the future.
She had to explain everything to Jiang Xuecheng.
The misunderstanding between the two of them had gone far enough. If this continued, the distance between her and Jiang Xuecheng would only grow further and further.
Fiennes saw the unconcealed joy and gratitude on Su Wan’s face. He felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about how she wanted him to chase after the emperor.
Fiennes looked at Su Wan again and finally walked to the other side.
Su Wan felt relieved when she saw Fiennes disappear from her sight. Then, she felt indescribably heavy.
She closed her eyes and leaned her body against the cold wall behind her. She was lost and speechless.
Jiang Xuecheng’s face appeared in Su Wan’s mind. In the flickering light, the man’s face was handsome but cold.
How bad was her luck? How could Jiang Xuecheng bump into her at this time?!
Su Wan sighed and then lowered her hand in confusion.
It was just a bet and she had bet a necklace on it. Now, that prideful lady, Diya, did not come to apologize to her. Instead, she ended up causing such a mess!
Annoying!
At the same time, on the other side, Fiennes was about to catch up with Jiang Xuecheng.
He gasped for breath and quickly shouted, “Your Highness!”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Fiennes’ s voice and confirmed that there was only one person behind him, he finally stopped.
Just as Fiennes stopped, he saw the emperor turn around.
Suddenly, Fiennes met a pair of cold and indifferent eyes.
That pair of long and narrow black phoenix eyes exploded with an arrow-like cold light in an instant. It was as if the person being looked at was just an ant on the ground and could be stepped on at will.
What a threatening gaze!
It made people’s hearts tighten and their throats dry!
Fiennes only felt that this gaze was like a ray of light at his back, as if it carried a substantial killing intent. It almost made him subconsciously want to submit and then flee in panic.
However, Fiennes was used to the wind and waves. Although he was initially shocked by the gaze of Jiang Xuecheng, it was only for a second or two. Fiennes seemed to be completely unaware of that killing intent, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
“Your Highness, didn’t you hear Miss Su calling out to you just now?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked away indifferently. In a flash, Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes became indifferent and returned to their usual calm expression.
“I didn’t hear it. What’s wrong with her?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was indifferent when he asked the question, as if he was not interested in Su Wan at all.
Fiennes’ s lips curled into a smile with a subtle sarcasm.
Su Wan had shouted so loudly just now, and they were not far from each other. With the Emperor’s hearing, how could he not have heard it?
However, Fiennes would not go so far as to expose Jiang Xuecheng. After all, he had already given him a way out.
Without a doubt, his highness was still curious about Su Wan.
“Miss Su just sprained her ankle. I don’t know what exactly happened. Why don’t you talk to her yourself?”
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned. Before he could think, a question flew out from his thin lips.
“Su Wan sprained her ankle?!”
Although he looked unhappy, the concern and anxiety in his tone was self-evident.
Fiennes was initially curious about the emperor’s attitude, but when he saw Jiang Xuecheng’s question without hesitation, he suddenly understood that Jiang Xuecheng still couldn’t let go of Su Wan.
The discomfort in Fiennes’ heart became more and more intense, and a concerned smile appeared on his face.
“Yes, when Miss Su was chasing His Highness, she accidentally twisted her ankle.”
“That stupid woman.”
Jiang Xuecheng sneered coldly, as if he was mocking Su Wan, but he could not help but clench his hands. The anxious expression between his brows could not be concealed.
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he suddenly raised his eyes and swept his gaze across the westernized handsome face in front of him.
When he saw Fiennes’ face, he felt even more displeased.
“Fiennes, why are you here to look for Su Wan?”
The low and deep male voice that sounded like a violin brushed past his ears, but it was not difficult to hear a hint of displeasure.
When Fiennes heard this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Since there was already a gap between the emperor and Su Wan, he did not mind letting the two of them have a deeper misunderstanding.
Fiennes opened his hand generously and a snowflake necklace suddenly appeared in his palm.
“Your Highness, I’m here to look for Su Wan to give something to her. Just now, Su Wan saw that your Highness came and she did not accept it because she was in a hurry, so Your Highness will pass it to her for me later.”
Fiennes spoke in a straightforward manner. Under the brilliant sunlight, his handsome face was brimming with a bright smile.
However, his words were full of falsehood.
He did not mention why he gave this necklace to Su Wan, but directly stamped it with the fact that Su Wan did not accept it because she had seen Jiang Xuecheng.
It was very easy to make people think in a bad way.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his face immediately darkened, and his expression became even colder.
He lowered his head and glanced at the thing in Fiennes’ palm. He saw that the necklace was in the shape of an extremely unique snowflake. The snowflake was entirely made of pearls, and in the middle of the Snowflake was inlaid a light blue tear-shaped gem.
The blue diamond looked very moist. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the necklace was expensive.
Why did Fiennes suddenly give this necklace to Su Wan? Was it a token of love? Or was it some other compensation?
And Su Wan did not accept it because she saw him coming?!
Ha, so Su Wan still cared about his opinion? But what was there to be happy about?!
When Jiang Xuecheng thought of this, he felt an invisible hand strangling his throat.
That hand pinched his heart so hard that he almost couldn’t breathe.
