Chapter 767: Diya, Fiancee?!
Su Wan glanced at the Siswell siblings, her heart suddenly racing.
She frowned slightly, seeing that the two people were already walking towards her, but she didn’t avoid them in the end.
Jiang Xuecheng could see that Su Wan was uncomfortable. He cast a reassuring look at her, and then reached out his hand to hold her palm.
It was as if he was saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Su Wan saw the comforting look in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes and finally calmed down a little. She reached out her finger and held Jiang Xuecheng’s palm, slowly feeling the warmth in his palm.
With Jiang Xuecheng by her side, what was there to be afraid of?
This man always gave her an inexplicable sense of relief.
Seeing that Su Wan’s anxious emotions had already been stabilized, two rays of starlight flashed through Jiang Xuecheng’s long and narrow eyes.
He indifferently glanced at Fiennes and Diya who were walking over with quick steps, his expression noble.
“Is there something the both of you need?”
“I miss Your Highness. Can’t I come to the God’s Palace to visit?”
Diya’s eyes were sparkling. She gave Jiang Xuecheng a bright smile, and then suddenly looked at Su Wan.
Her lips that were as red as fire suddenly curled into a sarcastic smile.
“I seem to have heard that Your Highness went to the underground auction market for someone? It’s such a dirty place. Diya is really afraid that her highness would be unhappy if she saw something or heard something!”
Su Wan straightened her back and unconsciously bit her lips. She took a few deep breaths before she calmed down.
She knew that Diya was trying to sow discord. However, she did not mention her surname. It was too subtle for her to rush forward to argue with Diya.
Diya raised her eyebrows at Su Wan. She did not expect Su Wan to be so calm.
However, it was true. This woman had an illegitimate child with some unknown man in the early days. Although it was aborted by the High Priest, an illegitimate child was still an illegitimate child, right?!
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. She did not understand why such a promiscuous woman could be taken in by the Emperor!
What exactly did Su Wan have?!
Diya stared at Su Wan without blinking. A trace of cold jealousy flashed across her delicate face.
Tsk, she was even captured by human trafficker. She was even dirtier than she was before.
She even dared to hold the emperor’s hand openly. She was really shameless to the extreme!
Diya’s eyes were burning with anger. She was finally going to use Su Wan as a tool.
“Miss Su, do you think those women who were kidnapped and sold into the hands of human traffickers are so pitiful? Even if they were rescued, I’m afraid they wouldn’t know how ruined they will be, right?”
As she said that, Diya covered her face with her hands and giggled.
“If I were them, I would have gone to a river to commit suicide!”
Su Wan met Diya’s meaningful gaze without fear. Her voice was cold, like a frozen river on a snowy day. It was so cold that it made one shiver.
“Miss Diya, aren’t those women and children who were abducted and sold by human traffickers the victims at this time? Only a person with a weak mentality like you would choose to commit suicide. Those criminals are the ones who deserve to die!”
Diya originally thought that she had exposed Su Wan’s sore spot and that Su Wan should be extremely ashamed with her face turning red and white. She did not expect that this woman would be so thick-skinned.
Diya glared at Su Wan angrily. Her bright and beautiful eyes were filled with a poisonous light at this moment.
“You–”
In Diya’s childhood education, nobles and socialites like her had to constantly plan for marriage from the moment they were born.
At the very least, they could not act recklessly before they got married. After all, there were times before a daughter’s family got married that many nobles valued.
However, what happened to Su Wan had completely overturned all of Diya’s understanding.
Why was his highness still so charmed by Su Wan that he could not even see his soul.
And Su Wan was actually standing there openly without the slightest bit of shame!
“Su Wan, I’ve never seen such a shameless woman like you…”
She coldly glanced at Su Wan. Just as Diya was about to scold Su Wan again, she suddenly felt someone fiercely grabbing her hand.
Diya raised her head and looked at the person who was grabbing her wrist in disbelief.
“Your Highness–”
Diya’s originally arrogant face instantly turned pale.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked extremely pitiful.
“Your Highness, do you know that the High Priest has personally promised me to get engaged to you in two weeks? Your Highness, how can you treat me like this? How can you treat your fiancée like this?!”
She looked at the man in front of her with infatuation. Many complicated emotions flashed through her eyes that were filled with tears.
Infatuation, adoration, and a strong possessiveness.
From the moment she saw this man, she understood what love at first sight was, and what it meant to truly love someone.
In terms of looks, family background, scheming, and tactics, which aspect of Su Wan, that commoner woman, was stronger than her!
She was the eldest daughter of the Siswell family!
No matter how much Su Wan pleased His Highness, she was just an ordinary commoner woman. Sooner or later, she would be His Highness’ wife!
As for Su Wan, she would only be reduced to a mistress!
It was impossible for her to be acknowledged by the God’s Palace, much less by the high priest!
Upon hearing Diya’s words, Su Wan’s hand suddenly trembled.
Jiang Xuecheng and Diya…
Were going to get engaged in two weeks?!
But not long ago, Jiang Xuecheng had asked her very sincerely if she was willing to marry her.
How could these two people…
Su Wan took a deep breath. Her clear almond-shaped eyes fell on Jiang Xuecheng with a slight questioning tone.
“Is what she said true? …”
Jiang Xuecheng turned around and looked at Su Wan with great determination. His voice was clear and deep, like the crisp sound of the wind blowing against the jade curtain.
“Wan Wan, do you believe me? If you believe me, I’ll go back and explain it to you.”
Being stared at like this by Jiang Xuecheng, the hesitation in Su Wan’s heart suddenly crumbled.
She couldn’t help but swallow the words she wanted to ask.
“Of course I believe you!”
She blurted out without thinking, and Su Wan even nodded at Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan’s simple words seemed to carry an invisible weight. Jiang Xuecheng suddenly felt at ease.
In fact, Jiang Xuecheng had long heard about this matter from the high priest. The high priest directly hit the core of the problem.
He had just taken office and was still inexperienced. In addition, the four great families were ready to make a move. Sooner or later, they would have to find someone to marry and stabilize their relationship. Only the eldest daughter of the Siswell family was the most innocent and sweet.
If he married Diya, he would not lose anything. Diya would also become his best and most loyal assistant!
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart warmed a little. He shifted his gaze back to Diya and frowned unconsciously. A trace of disgust that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes.
“Diya, I have never had a fiancée. Even if I did, it would definitely not be you!”
