  Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand and walked forward together. She tilted her head and looked at the man beside her as if she had completely forgotten that there were so many thorns around her.

  It did not matter.

  It was not the first time she had seen such an occasion. If this could scare her, it would be too ridiculous.

  Seeing Su Wan and the emperor walk out of the crowd, Fiennes immediately chased after them.

  He smiled apologetically at Su Wan with a sincere expression.

  “Your Highness, Miss Su, Diya’s words were incoherent, but that sentence just now was not intended to target Miss Su’s profession. Whether Miss Su likes playing the Guqin or cooking, it’s the same in my heart……”


  Seeing that Fiennes was defending his sister, Jiang Xuecheng did not say a word, but Su Wan could not help but feel that it was a little ridiculous.

  Just now, Diya’s arrogant expression and tone seemed to be mocking her lowly status and that she wasn’t worthy of the emperor beside her.

  Moreover, in order to side with Diya, the surrounding crowd was all commenting about her. Could it be that she had good intentions?

  However, Su Wan didn’t want to be angry with Fiennes here. She only cared about Jiang Xuecheng’s opinion. As for the others, it didn’t matter.

  On the other hand, she had to thank Diya. If not for that, she would not have known that Jiang Xuecheng was willing to protect her.

  Su Wan nodded at Fiennes. There was a watertight smile on her face, but there was a hint of estrangement.

  “It’s okay. Young Master Fiennes, you don’t have to explain. I can understand.”


  Understanding did not mean that she liked it, nor did it mean that she could accept it.

  Fiennes, however, did not hear the hidden meaning behind Su Wan’s words. He heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating for his sister to come over.

  Diya walked over unwillingly. Then, she quickly glanced at the hands of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng that were tightly intertwined. She pouted, and a hint of grievance appeared on her bright and beautiful face.

  Seriously, did she think that she was blind?

  Her brother was obviously interested in this woman, and His Highness also treated this woman differently.

  What was so good about Su Wan?!

  If Fiennes wanted her to apologize to a lowly cook, there was absolutely no way!

  “Your Highness, brother……”


  Diya looked around at Jiang Xuecheng and Fiennes and nodded slightly at them as if she did not see Su Wan at all.

  Fiennes could not help but sigh when he saw Diya’s temper.

  However, in Fiennes’ eyes, Diya did not have any bad intentions. His sister was straightforward. She was just spoiled by others.

  Diya was proud and arrogant. Fiennes naturally knew that with his sister’s temper, she would not apologize to Su Wan.

  That was not what he wanted. It was just superficial peace.

  “Diya, you are too forgetful. Let me formally introduce you again. This is Miss Su Wan.”


  As Fiennes said that, he smiled at Su Wan.

  “Miss Su, this is my sister Diya. You should have heard of her long ago. Diya has a straightforward personality and a bit of a rash temper. I hope you can forgive her.”


  That day, Su Wan was playing backstage. She had indeed seen Diya’s face a long time ago. However, she knew Diya, but Diya had never seen her true face.

  Su Wan still smiled slightly and nodded at Fiennes.

  “Yes, I know.”


  Hearing her brother protect an outsider like this, Diya was so angry that she almost fainted.

  What kind of joke was this? She had noble status, so how could she need a commoner girl’s forgiveness?!

  Moreover, Su Wan actually answered without any courtesy. She really did not have the slightest sense of superiority or inferiority.

  “Diya, this is the first time you’ve met Miss Su. Shake hands.”


  Seeing that Diya was not happy, Fiennes coughed lightly and gave her a glare.

  Diya felt extremely wronged. She could only slowly reach out her hand to Su Wan.

  When Su Wan saw Diya reaching out her hand, she could not help but feel a little surprised. She had thought that this rich young lady would not be willing to accommodate her.

  Even with Fiennes’ orders.

  From the looks of it, the relationship between Diya and Fiennes was really good. Although they did not share the same mother, the fact that Diya listened to Fiennes’ words clearly showed the relationship between the two of them.

  Regardless of whether Diya was sincere or pretending, Su Wan could not afford to lose her manners. She quickly let go of Jiang Xuecheng’s hand and shook Diya’s.

  “Miss Diya, it’s better to meet than to hear about each other. Seeing you today, you are indeed charming.”


  Su Wan looked at Diya indifferently with a clear smile.

  Diya snorted in her heart. She felt that Su Wan’s words were extremely ironic.

  –is this woman mocking me?!

  Calling me charming?! Then why did the emperor not even look at me?!

  After shaking hands with Su Wan for a second, Diya hurriedly withdrew her hand and rubbed her right hand against her left hand a few times.

  It was as if there was something dirty on Su Wan’s hand that would make a stain.

  “Tsk, so dirty. It seems that I have to wash my hands later.”


  Diya’s voice was neither soft nor heavy, but those few words were just enough for the entire audience to hear.

  The people around were instantly stunned, and at the same time, they felt some sympathy for Su Wan, however, Su Wan was not the least bit embarrassed by Diya’s humiliating behavior.

  Her face was relaxed and generous, and she took back her hand very naturally. Her palm dropped to the side of her skirt, and her expression was calm.

  The people around saw that Su Wan could still be so calm in the face of Diya’s ridicule, and could not help but secretly praise Su Wan’s good bearing.

  The other guests could not help but have some doubts in their hearts.

  Was Su Wan really a commoner woman?

  They felt that her bearing and manners were impeccable, especially after Diya had deliberately humiliated her.

  In the face of the invisible confrontation between Su Wan and Diya just now, the emperor had not said a word. At this moment, he suddenly moved.

  Su Wan saw that Jiang Xuecheng suddenly extended his hand toward her. She thought that he was going to continue holding her hand. She did not expect that Jiang Xuecheng raised Su Wan’s hand and looked at it carefully.

  The man’s eyelashes were lowered. He looked extremely serious, as if Su Wan’s hand was some rare treasure.

  “Just now, Miss Diya said that her hand was dirty. Fortunately, you did not touch the filth on her hand.”


  Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was melodious and pleasing to the ears, but it carried a faint sense of intimidation.

  As soon as these words were said, the entire place fell silent!

  Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s cold, snow-like eyes and couldn’t help but feel a little touched in her heart.

  It was the second time today that he had helped her out of a predicament.

  In fact, the humiliation that Diya had suffered just now was not worth mentioning to Su Wan. She wouldn’t go so far as to throw a tantrum with a little girl who was a few years younger than her.

  However, when Jiang Xuecheng did this, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

  Everyone looked at each other. Some of them secretly looked at Diya and almost could not help but laugh out loud.

  They really did not expect that one day, they would actually be able to see Miss Diya blow up.

  Meanwhile, Diya’s face instantly turned ashen. She was filled with anger, but she did not know where to vent it!
