Chapter 964: Missed By A Hair’s Breadth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan actually hated the touch of strangers, so she subconsciously began to struggle.
However, Fiennes’ strength was much stronger than hers.
Fiennes’ expression was indifferent. He glanced at Su Wan. Although his voice was clear and deep, the threat in it was self-evident.
“Su Wan, my patience is limited.”
He had tolerated Su Wan for many days, and his behavior was respectful enough to her.
However, it was not until the day Nono arrived that Fiennes truly realized that in Su Wan’s eyes, even a robot’s status was much more important than his!
Other than eating and sleeping, Su Wan’s daily activities were nothing more than playing with the robot whose memory was damaged.
How could such a silly robot not tire Su Wan at all?
Fiennes had a deep question, but at the same time, his patience was exhausted.
Fiennes had been waiting for Su Wan to wake up and realize her situation. Then, she would change from enduring patiently to accepting the marriage.
However, Su Wan did not.
He was not blind. How could he not see Su Wan’s hypocritical attitude? This woman was obviously giving him a perfunctory answer!
Fiennes was an extremely proud person. This kind of pride was engraved deep into his bones, and it was difficult for him to say it out loud.
His childhood was unfortunate. He understood that he had to be better than anyone else in order to trample all the people he disliked under his feet.
He envied the relationship between Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. If he could not get it, he might as well destroy it. This was Fiennes’ principle.
He didn’t mind destroying Su Wan with his own hands.
Su Wan lowered her head and looked at Fiennes’ hand that was tightly gripping her hand. He was clearly not as calm as he appeared on the surface. Even his veins were a little ferocious.
And Su Wan was feeling a little pain from Fiennes’ grip.
Perhaps one had to know how to bend and stretch under the eaves in order to have the last laugh.
Su Wan took a deep breath and finally reluctantly nodded at Fiennes.
“Okay, I got it.”
She lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She tried her best to make herself look weak and harmless so that Fiennes would lower his guard.
Su Wan’s voice was very gentle.
“Young Master Fiennes, you’re hurting me. Can you let go?”
Fiennes followed Su Wan’s gaze and looked at Su Wan’s hand. He was probably angry earlier, so he did grip her a little harder.
Su Wan’s skin was thin, and a faint red mark appeared on the back of her fair hand.
Just as Su Wan was feeling anxious, Fiennes finally let go of her hand.
Seeing that Fiennes did not persist, Su Wan could not help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart.
Only now did she know that even if it was just holding hands with another man, there would still be an inexplicable feeling of nausea in her heart.
If Fiennes took it one step further, she did not know what she would do.
She could only hope to jump out of this fire pit as soon as possible.
Su Wan sighed and followed Fiennes downstairs slowly.
She was wearing a pair of high-heeled crystal shoes. In addition to the complicated style of the dress, the tassels on the hem of the dress almost fell to the ground. Su Wan was really afraid that she would accidentally step on the dress and turn herself upside down.
Fiennes probably noticed that Su Wan was walking slowly, so he deliberately slowed down and waited for Su Wan a few more times.
Su Wan realized this, but there was no gratitude in her heart. Instead, there was an extremely complicated emotion.
If the person who was going to marry Fiennes today was not her, but a girl who shared the same heart as Fiennes, she should be very happy to see this man’s thoughtfulness, right?
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Su Wan also did not know what Fiennes was stubborn about. Since Fiennes did not like her, and she could not help Fiennes’ career, what was the purpose of this marriage?
At this time, Su Wan did not know that the reason why Fiennes married her was more… out of jealousy.
When he saw Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng together, the two of them were like a complete painting that no one else could enter. Fiennes suddenly wanted to ruin this scene.
Why should he let others have something that he could not have?
This was an extremely twisted mentality that Su Wan probably could not understand.
Su Wan and Fiennes walked all the way to the courtyard. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, looking exceptionally estranged.
At that time, the maid, Xiao Yuan, was watering a few flowering trees in the courtyard. When she saw Fiennes and Su Wan’s grand attire, she immediately realized that this was probably a very special day.
Since tomorrow was the official time of the wedding, could it be that today was the day to collect the marriage certificate?
Xiao Yuan stared unblinkingly at Su Wan, who was wearing a red embroidered dress. She swept her gaze over Su Wan’s skirt and the pale pink lilies at her waist. Her round face was filled with envy.
This dress was really beautiful!
“Young Master Fiennes, Miss Su, are you going to collect your marriage certificate? Congratulations, Congratulations. I wish you a hundred years of happiness and good luck in your new marriage.”
Fiennes glanced at Xiao Yuan, whose face was filled with smiles, and his mood brightened up a little.
This was probably the first person to wish him and Su Wan a happy marriage today.
“You’re so sweet. Go to the butler’s place to collect your reward. Remember to change your words in the future. You can’t call Su Wan Miss Su anymore. You have to call her young madam, understand?”
How could Xiao Yuan have thought that her casual blessing could actually be exchanged for a reward!
It had been a long time since young master Fiennes had been so generous!
Ever since young master Fiennes took charge of the Siswell family, he absolutely was not harsh towards his servants. However, there was almost no one who he took the initiative to reward like this.
Xiao Yuan looked at Fiennes with great joy. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
“Thank you, Young Master Fiennes! Thank you, Miss… Young Madam! I wish you two have a son soon!”
As Xiao Yuan spoke, she quickly bowed to Su Wan and Fiennes twice.
However, Su Wan felt a headache when she heard that. What a hundred-year marriage? What son soon? Although she had these wishes as well, her partner was definitely not Fiennes!
Su Wan looked a little disappointed. However, she could not say anything in this situation.
She could only keep silent.
But Fiennes had already walked out quickly, so Su Wan had to follow him reluctantly.
The two of them walked out of the Siswell family and then got on the maglev, heading toward the civil affairs bureau that dealt with marriage.
Su Wan had no idea that less than ten minutes after she and Fiennes left, someone had sneaked into the Siswell family.
His goal was to rescue Su Wan.
However, he had missed her by a hair’s breadth.
And this person was not Jiang Xuecheng, but Ming Ye.
Ming Ye had heard that Su Wan had asked about the CHK Virus No.3 at the banquet that day. He had already guessed that Su Wan had been infected, so he had stayed at the God’s Palace to find a way to cure the virus.
He finally found out where the high priest moved the laboratory to. However, before he could go, something happened to the God’s Palace.
First, the high priest was imprisoned by Fiennes. Then, something happened to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. Then, things became like this.
Fiennes actually wanted to marry Su Wan. How was that possible?
