Chapter 811: Phoenix Or Pheasant
Diya raised her eyes and saw that Jiang Xuecheng was looking at her.
The smile on her lips deepened, and her beautiful face instantly blossomed like a burning peach blossom.
The emperor was actually looking at her!
Did this mean that although the emperor usually did not pay attention to her on the surface, he was secretly watching her every move?
The more Diya thought about it, the happier she felt. She immediately revealed a shy smile, which made the young nobles around her feel thirsty.
Although this lady of the Siswell family was a little unruly, her appearance and identity were first-class. There was nothing to say!
Knowing that Diya was determined to pounce on the emperor, many young elites present were heartbroken.
But why was Miss Diya smiling so happily?
Just as everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard Diya call out in surprise!
“Your Highness!”
Everyone was stunned, and then they followed Diya’s gaze and looked forward.
They instantly noticed the white-clothed man and woman outside the red carpet.
In a white casual suit, Jiang Xuecheng looked cold and otherworldly, while Su Wan, who was standing beside him, was not swept away by the man beside her at all!
Although it was such an upper-class occasion, Su Wan was just standing there, calmly holding the hand of the emperor. She did not seem to be nervous at all.
They were really a golden couple!
Everyone was silent for a moment. Their eyes could not help but be filled with amazement and admiration.
Although it was the first time that most of them had seen Su Wan, most of them had heard of her name. They could not help but think of many rumors.
Only those who had attended the aristocrat party held by Fiennes knew that Su Wan was not someone to be trifled with.
The emperor had even offended the high priest for her. Her position in the emperor’s heart was evident!
A few young men and women of the aristocracy could not help but whisper among themselves.
“So that’s Su Wan… she has much more temperament than I thought!”
“Yeah, I thought she was a country bumpkin from some small place! Now that I look at her appearance, she doesn’t look any worse than Miss Diya…”
“Yeah, why do you think the emperor would be so angry for such a beauty?”
“You mean the underground auction last time? Tsk tsk, poor young master Keller of the Devi family. He’s still hanging his leg in the hospital!”
Although young master Keller of the Devi family was born into a noble family, he was a useless idiot and liked to bully others. Therefore, he did not have a good reputation among the nobles.
Now that young master Keller was not around, the surrounding people could not help but gloat.
From such a distance, Su Wan heard Diya calling for Jiang Xuecheng.
There were also the gazes of the noble men and women on her. It was as if they were judging her.
Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable.
She did not like that kind of gaze from strangers.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the girl who was wearing a “couple’s outfit” with him. He knew that Su Wan did not like this kind of occasion. In fact, just like Su Wan, he also did not like this kind of high-class banquet.
Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan’s hand tightly, and there was a kind of unconsciously doting expression on his face.
“Wan Wan, do you want to eat something later?”
Su Wan was about to say that she wanted to eat macaron ice cream when she suddenly saw a slender figure approaching from not far away.
It was really annoying…
Su Wan could not help but have a headache, and the veins on her forehead suddenly jumped twice.
In less than three seconds, the figure in the fiery red dress had already approached her and Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, I called you just now. Why did you ignore me?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face turned cold. He shifted his eyes to look at Diya. His entire body seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. He had an aura that kept others at a thousand miles away.
“I didn’t hear you.”
Diya did not expect Jiang Xuecheng to change his expression so quickly!
Just now, when the emperor looked at Su Wan, his face was filled with a gentle smile. Why was he looking at her like this?
Su Wan was clearly just a woman who could not stand up to the public, while she was his legitimate fiancée!
Diya did not believe that the high priest did not tell Jiang Xuecheng that today, in name, it was to welcome the high priest to the banquet. In fact, the real purpose was to expose her marriage with Jiang Xuecheng to the public!
Diya could not help but feel aggrieved.
Her eyes reddened, and her amber-colored eyes were quickly filled with tears as she looked at Jiang Xuecheng with some complaints.
“Your Highness, you should know that some people, no matter how much they dress like a phoenix, are just pheasants!”
Was she criticizing her?
Su Wan frowned slightly, feeling unhappy. Just as she was about to retaliate, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly grabbed Su Wan’s arm, obviously indicating that she did not need to speak.
Su Wan was stunned. She looked at the man beside her in a daze.
Jiang Xuecheng’s black jade-like phoenix eyes were dark. He was staring at Diya, obviously at the peak of his anger.
However, Jiang Xuecheng’s words were light and casual.
“Miss Diya is right. I suggest that Miss Diya look at the mirror before you go out, so that you can fully understand the meaning of what you just said.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s meaning was naturally to return Diya’s disgusting words to her.
However, when she heard this, not only Diya, but also Su Wan’s eyes widened!
Su Wan had always felt that Jiang Xuecheng was very vicious when he spoke to her. Only now did she realize that this fellow was still lenient when he spoke to her!
Su Wan pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress the laughter in her heart before she burst out laughing.
When Diya reacted, she was even more humiliated.
She raised her face in disbelief, her eyes filled with grievance, and then a few bean-sized tears seeped out.
“Your Highness, how can you say that about me? I’m your unmarried…”
Before Diya could say the word “wife,” she saw Jiang Xuecheng wave his hand respectfully and indifferently, and then directly interrupted Diya’s words.
“Miss Diya, what did I say? You were the one who brought up the metaphor earlier, so it’s up to you to decide what you want.”
After saying that, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan’s hand and left.
Seeing the scene of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan leaving, Diya was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
Seeing her like this, a few noble men and women could not help but look at each other.
Among them, a girl who thought that she had a good time with Diya walked up. She held onto Diya’s arm with a flattering look on her face.
“Diya, are you alright? Do you want to call your brother over…”
“Don’t touch me!”
Diya flung the girl’s hand away. She looked indignant as she stared at Su Wan’s back. Her teeth were chattering.
Very good. I will repay today’s humiliation a hundred times over.
Su Wan, just you wait!
