Chapter 854: A Familiar Figure In The Crowd

The breeze brushed against her skin, bringing with it a slight chill. Meanwhile, Diya’s voice was still sincere in the wind.

When Su Wan heard this, Goosebumps almost appeared on her skin.

She could even see the seriousness in Diya’s eyes.

However, Su Wan did not have enough judgment to tell if Diya was acting or if she truly wanted to bury the hatchet with a smile.

So, was this young lady playing the emotional card, or was she really trying to humbly admit her mistake?

Seeing Su Wan’s hesitant look, Diya could not help but feel a little displeased.

“What, you’re actually not willing?!”

She was the young lady of the Siswell family. She had come to reconcile with Su Wan so humbly, yet Su Wan was still hesitating!

Although Diya gradually realized that it was wrong of her to blindly pester Jiang Xuecheng in the past, and it was wrong of her to trip up Su Wan along the way, she still felt that her status as a noble was superior to others.

She always felt that she was being modest by being willing to make peace with Su Wan. Su Wan should have happily agreed to it!

When Su Wan saw Diya’s puffed up cheeks and her slightly sullen voice, she almost laughed out loud. Her original hesitation had disappeared a little.

If Diya had been begging for her forgiveness nicely, Su Wan would have felt like she had seen a ghost.

Although Su Wan had not known Diya for long, in Su Wan’s eyes, Diya was clearly the kind of noble young lady who was pampered and spoiled by her father and brother. Her arrogant personality was obviously thanks to that.

It was always difficult to make a person change their habits.

The current Diya made Su Wan feel a little familiar.

Su Wan’s thin lips curved slightly, and a polite smile that could not be picked on was on her face.

“Miss Diya, I don’t know what your definition of a friend is, but I think that we have already come to an understanding. At the very least, we can not be considered enemies. As for whether we can be friends in the future, it will be up to fate.”

A rich lady like Diya could change her attitude faster than flipping through a book. If she was angered by something one day, she would not feel good.

Su Wan had always felt that friends were equal. They had to have the same values. They could not feel superior or even bully each other. They could not treat their friends as objects of sympathy.

Moreover, Su Wan thought that she would not be able to find any common topics between her and Diya.

It was better for them to respect each other. It did not matter whether they were friends or not. As long as they did not interfere in each other’s business, it would be fine.

Although Diya was not very smart, Su Wan’s formulaic excuse made Diya understand that Su Wan was rejecting her in disguise.

“Su Wan, you–”

In the small circle of the same gender, she had never been rejected like this!

Diya was so angry that she stomped her feet!

Su Wan smiled at Diya, her expression very calm.

“Miss Diya, why do you suddenly want to be friends with me?”

Diya was stunned when she heard that.

She frowned, and the scene at the racetrack a few days ago appeared in her mind. The horse was clearly galloping in front of her, but Su Wan was just quietly looking at Jiang Xuecheng.

Under the sunlight that was like muslin, Su Wan’s face was calm, and there was even a smile on her lips.

At that time, even Diya had to admit that Su Wan was extremely moving.

There was a kind of picturesque beauty.

It was not because of her appearance that people admired her, but because of the calmness in Su Wan’s bones. It was something that Diya had never seen before in her life.

Diya pouted and finally admitted her thoughts very directly.

“I admire that you did not hide back then. The Emperor rode Lightning so quickly. I thought that you were very powerful back then, and you were not afraid at all.”

In her entire life, Diya rarely admired anyone. Her brother was one of them, and now there was another, which was Su Wan. She did not know how long this temporary worship could last.

As Diya spoke, she could not help but think of the scene of Jiang Xuecheng stopping his horses in time.

Cooperation was also very important!

What if the emperor did not stop at that time?

The Su Wan that she admired so much, would she turn into a pile of ground meat?

“Of course, Your Highness’ riding skills are also very impressive. Otherwise, I would not be able to see you now.”

Hearing Diya’s naive words, Su Wan finally could not hold it in and burst out laughing.

Was she going to break this little girl’s fantasy and tell her that Jiang Xuecheng was actually cheating?

Forget it. In order to maintain Diya’s image of her as the flower of the mountains in Jiang Xuecheng’s heart, Su Wan decided that she should not be so vicious.

“What are you laughing at?”

Diya glanced at Su Wan suspiciously. She felt that Su Wan’s smile was a little strange. Diya frowned and spoke to Su Wan as if she had suddenly realized something.

“Could it be that you’ve practiced this kind of game with His Highness before? No wonder you’re not afraid! No wonder His Highness was so confident in winning—”

She had said it before. His Highness liked Su Wan so much. How could his sweetheart die tragically under the hooves of a horse?!

Diya thought that she had found the correct answer. Her amber eyes were shining brightly. Under the sunlight, they were even more dazzling than gemstones.

Su Wan had to admit that if Diya could maintain her current state and not cause any trouble, she would still be very likable.

Su Wan restrained her expression and smiled faintly at Diya.

“No, you’re thinking too much. That was the first time I played such a game with Xue… His Highness. However, this project is indeed very dangerous. You don’t have to admire me. There’s a reason why I didn’t dodge or scream back then.”

Diya could not suppress her curiosity and could not help but ask.

“What reason–”

The smile on Su Wan’s face did not change. She pretended to look at Diya mysteriously, causing Diya’s curiosity to grow.

“Just tell me, okay? Don’t keep me in suspense.”

Diya could not help but widen her eyes. Probably because she was already used to acting coquettishly with Fiennes, her hand could not help but reach towards Su Wan’s arm, wanting to shake Su Wan’s arm.

However, Su Wan did not have the habit of being so intimate with people she was not familiar with. She took the lead and took a step back. The expression on her face was unfathomable.

“Because I was scared silly at that time.”

Scared silly?

“Ah–”

Before Diya could react, she saw Su Wan turn around and leave gracefully. There was not a hint of bashfulness on her face.

On the other side, Jiang Xuecheng was already getting impatient from waiting. He did not like Diya. In addition, Diya had a lot of history. He was really afraid that Diya would suddenly do something to Su Wan.

When he saw Su Wan walking over, Jiang Xuecheng’s tense expression eased up a little.

…

Was she really scared silly?

Diya frowned. She was about to catch up with Su Wan quickly when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

The figure was tall. She did not know whether it was an illusion or something else. Diya seemed to have caught a glimpse of a pair of jade-like eyes.

Was it the man who had been with her in the elevator?!

She had let her brother search for a long time, but everyone said that there was no such person.

Diya felt as if she had been jolted by an electric current. She no longer cared about finding Su Wan, and ran straight towards that figure!
