Chapter 621 - Putting On Airs
Chapter 621: Putting On Airs
She felt wronged and angry at the same time, causing Diya to tremble violently!
She swept her gaze over those people who were snickering. Her gaze was like an ice needle. The observant guests around her immediately shifted their gazes away. They stopped smiling and looked at each other with a serious expression.
Even so, there was still a thorn in Diya’s heart. It was neither up nor down, causing her stomach to churn.
This was the territory of the Siswell family. If it was someone else who had just spoken, Diya would have slapped him hard and told him to scram!
However, the person who had spoken was His Highness!
No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could only swallow her anger!
Diya really did not feel good in her heart. She gritted her teeth and forcefully suppressed her wild emotions.
His Highness was obviously trying to protect that woman by misinterpreting her words!
She was just a commoner girl. Even if she was not bad looking, even if she could play the Guqin, even if she could cook well, so what?!
In the end, she was just a lowly ant!
She really did not know what kind of charm Su Wan had that could make His Highness protect her so much!
Her amber eyes reddened slightly as they swept past Su Wan. Hatred and resentment flashed, so fast that it was almost impossible to grasp.
In the blink of an eye, Diya had changed into a delicate and pitiful expression. She stretched out her hand, and her entire body seemed to have no strength as she fell towards the direction of Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, my head is a little dizzy.”
Seeing that Diya was about to fall into the arms of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan’s beautiful eyes widened slightly. Without thinking, she reached out her hand to catch Diya.
What a joke. She would rather hold onto Diya herself than watch Diya throw herself into Jiang Xuecheng’s arms.
Diya was really letting herself fall forward. Su Wan had little strength and was still caught Diya. She almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuecheng quickly held Su Wan and stood behind her. That was why the farce of Su Wan and Diya rolling on the ground did not happen.
However, Diya’s head still knocked on Su Wan’s chin. Su Wan cried out in pain.
And Diya was so shocked that she gasped!
She had never thought that Su Wan, would actually run in between them and block her from the Emperor!
This woman must have done it on purpose. She was jealous of her close relationship with the Emperor!
“You lowly commoner girl, take your dirty hands away. Why did you grab me just now?!”
Diya glared at Su Wan angrily and hatefully. As if she had been frightened, she suddenly jumped away from Su Wan’s body!
How did that lively and vigorous appearance of hers look like she was dizzy?!
Although Su Wan had already guessed that Diya was faking her discomfort, she could not help but feel annoyed when she saw Diya’s accusation.
Just as Su Wan was about to refute, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly squeezed Su Wan’s hand, signaling her not to speak.
Jiang Xuecheng saw her painful look and asked subconsciously.
“Are you alright?!”
Su Wan was stunned. She looked up at the man beside her with mixed feelings — Jiang Xuecheng actually noticed that her chin had been knocked.
“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”
The man stroked Su Wan’s head and then shifted his gaze to Diya who was in front of him.
Seeing that the emperor’s gaze shifted from Su Wan to her, Diya’s face turned slightly red. She thought that the Emperor would also take care of her.
Diya hurriedly put away her shrew-like appearance from before. Her expression was extremely gentle.
“Your Highness…”
Her voice was soft. The two words she said were slow and gentle. It was filled with affection.
Diya had even thought that if the emperor asked her how her body was, she would immediately act coquettishly.
However, these little thoughts were quickly splashed with cold water.
Looking at Diya’s tender expression, the man was not moved at all. He only raised his eyebrows indifferently.
“Miss Diya, you were about to fall just now. Su Wan only helped you out of kindness. Shouldn’t you say thank you to her instead of making a fuss?”
His voice was calm, but his words were meant to defend Su Wan.
The smile on Diya’s face froze. She almost thought that she had heard wrong!
His Highness did not care about her health at all. He even wanted her to apologize to that commoner girl?!
Diya’s face was flushed red. Her plump lips opened and closed, but she did not know what to say to refute.
Forget it. His Highness was now mesmerized by that vixen. It was probably useless no matter what she said.
Diya lowered her head unwillingly, but she did not look at Su Wan at all. She was still facing Jiang Xuecheng.
“Thank you.”
Her voice seemed to be forced out from between her teeth, with a hint of gnashing of her teeth.
Diya’s voice was so soft, but no one around her spoke. The surroundings were unusually quiet. Diya’s “Thank you” was no different from stirring up a thousand waves with a stone!
Miss Diya actually knew how to apologize. It was really raining red…
The people around her widened their eyes in shock. At the same time, they could not help but envy Su Wan’s good luck.
If it was not for the protection of the emperor, how could this woman surnamed Su receive Miss Diya’s apology?!
Not to mention a door, there would not even be a window!
Countless gazes were focused on Su Wan’s side, but Su Wan acted as if she did not see them at all. She gave Diya a faint smile.
“You’re welcome.”
This woman really dared to put on airs just because she was given face!
Did she really think that she wanted to thank her?
If it was not for Su Wan, she would definitely have fallen into His Highness’s arms just now. How did it end up in such an awkward situation.
Diya stared at Su Wan with obvious anger in her eyes, but she could only suppress it with all her might.
Well, very well. It was only the first time they met, and Su Wan had already given her such a “big gift”. How could she not repay it properly?!
If she caught an opportunity, Su Wan had better not blame her!
Seeing that the atmosphere around them was getting more and more tense, Fiennes could not help but complain in his heart, but he could only manage to maintain order.
“The wind is strong here. Everyone has been standing at the door for so long. Let’s go in earlier.”
As soon as Fiennes finished speaking, Su Wan felt the man beside her holding her hand and walking forward without looking away.
Su Wan staggered for a moment and quickly steadied herself to follow the footsteps of Jiang Xuecheng.
Diya stared at the hands that the two were holding and wished she could separate them now.
This woman was so shameless!
With her lowly status, how could she walk together with His Highness and even hold his hand?!
No matter how indignant Diya was, the people at the back had already caught up with the pace of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
Soon, the outside of the mansion was empty, leaving only Fiennes and Diya.
Fiennes knew that his sister was resentful, so he stepped forward and patted Diya’s shoulder, gently persuading her.
“Diya, since His Highness doesn’t like you, don’t be stubborn.”
Hearing this, Diya suddenly raised her head!
She stared at Fiennes’ face without blinking, but she directly started another topic.
“Brother, you like that woman just now, right?”
