Chapter 941: She Did Not Want To Attract Gossip
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wan pretended to glare at Fiennes angrily, but her palms were already sweating.
It was impossible not to be afraid.
Su Wan was worried that she could not convince Fiennes, and she was afraid that Diya would go back on her words and expose her decision to her brother.
Su Wan also did not expect that she would be so bold to bet on that rich young lady.
After all, the relationship between the two of them… was practically life-and-death.
Seeing Fiennes hesitate, Su Wan felt more and more uneasy, but her chin was raised high.
It was as if she had been wronged by Diya, but she was determined to fight back.
“What, you don’t want to?! As expected, when you said that you would at least let me live with face, it was all a lie!”
Su Wan gritted her teeth, her eyes suddenly reddening.
She was starting to admire her acting skills!
However, to be honest, these few days when she was living in the Shanshui villa, Su Wan was really terrified. She couldn’t even sleep well at night.
She was really wronged.
However, it wasn’t caused by Diya.
…
Fiennes was a little stunned.
And Su Wan just looked at him like this, her expression stubborn.
It was clearly an extremely arrogant attitude, but because of her red eyes, she seemed weak.
When Fiennes saw Su Wan’s appearance, he did not know why, but it seemed to have touched a thread in his heart.
When he pushed the door open and entered, he heard Su Wan say, “Do you nobles look down on other people like that?” He already felt an indescribable pain.
That pain did not come from Su Wan, but from the scenes from a long time ago.
It was as if he could see the shadow of his mother in Su Wan.
Even though Su Wan was much stronger than his weak and weak mother, in her bones… there would always be some similarities.
Fiennes’ azure eyes flashed. He looked at Su Wan, and his expression softened.
“Why do you have to share a house with Diya? My sister has an arrogant personality. She belittles everyone. If you really move into the Siswell family, you will definitely have a bad time with her.”
Su Wan and Diya had always been at odds with each other. For a period of time, they were incompatible with each other. Therefore, Fiennes did not consider that the situation was fake.
He had never thought that his beloved sister would join Su Wan to lie to him.
Even if Diya did that, it was mostly for Fiennes’ good.
In Diya’s opinion, a marriage without feelings was worse than not marrying. Su Wan and her brother were obviously not compatible.
…
When Su Wan heard Fiennes’ words, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately understood that Fiennes wanted to use this to shut her mouth.
However, how could she give up so easily?!
Su Wan glanced at Fiennes angrily. Her voice suddenly raised a pitch, as if she was really angry to the extreme!
“I knew you would say that, but Fiennes, have you ever thought about how it feels to be looked down upon by everyone when you want to marry me?”
Looked down upon by everyone? …
Fiennes’ fingers suddenly tightened when he heard this, and his thin bones turned pale.
How could he not know what it felt like to be looked down upon by others?
Su Wan’s words were like knives, constantly reminding Fiennes of the past when he was looked down upon by others.
It was clearly such a distant matter, but now, looking around, who would dare not respect him?
However, those scars were a pain that could not be healed no matter what.
So much so that when he saw Su Wan being looked down upon as a commoner, he would think of his past…
He was arrogant, but at the same time, he had an inferiority complex. That kind of mark was like a brand that could not be erased.
Fiennes woke up from his thoughts. His expression stiffened a little, but in the end, he still gave in to Su Wan.
“Alright, then I’ll bring you back.”
Su Wan’s heart relaxed and she blurted out without thinking.
“Really?”
Realizing that her expression was too excited, Su Wan immediately reacted and pretended to be in disbelief.
Fiennes had yet to completely break free from his world. The corner of his lips curled into a faint smile as he suddenly mentioned.
“Of course it’s true. Even though there are many courtyards in the headquarters of the Siswell family, since you want to be justified, then from tomorrow onwards, you’ll live with me.”
Su Wan had not had the chance to be happy for a second before she was shocked by this news!
Her face turned slightly pale, and she immediately rejected him.
“Don’t! The two of us shouldn’t live together for now!”
…
Fiennes’ expression froze slightly. His long and narrow eyes narrowed, and his originally gentle attitude disappeared in an instant.
He had thought that Su Wan had really gotten over it!
Seeing Su Wan reject him so hurriedly, how could Fiennes not see that Su Wan had actually not accepted him at all.
In fact, he even had some doubts about Su Wan’s attitude just now.
Fiennes himself was a very suspicious person.
How could he be so easily deceived.
“Why did you reject me?”
Fiennes pursed his thin lips into a straight line. His pair of deep blue eyes shone faintly, like a lake under the moonlight, making people unable to figure him out.
Su Wan also realized that she had rejected him too quickly, which would easily make people suspicious.
She reluctantly grabbed her palm. Feeling the cold pain, her mind finally cleared up a little.
The expression on her face also became more natural.
“I don’t want people to mistake us for having a shotgun wedding, which will attract a lot of gossip from the servants.”
Su Wan’s back was straight as she looked at Fiennes with extreme calmness. Even though her thoughts were churning like a tidal wave, she did not reveal the slightest bit of abnormality.
“Is there any courtyard that is suitable for living alone? I want to find a place where we don’t have an official wedding ceremony, so that no one will gossip about us.”
Su Wan wanted to find a courtyard that was suitable for her to live alone. She was afraid that it would be bad if others were implicated by the fire.
It would be best if the place was remote and there were fewer people. Firstly, it would be convenient for her to take action in private. Secondly, it would not attract attention when she escaped and would not hurt bystanders.
…
When Fiennes saw her like this, he thought that Su Wan was really too conceited.
In fact, he understood that kind of pride. He did not want anyone to see him clearly.
Even in his eyes, those people were just the most lowly ants.
Fiennes thought for a moment and finally decided to compromise.
“That’s fine too. But Su Wan, you can stay there for half a month at most. Because, in half a month, it will be our wedding ceremony. Naturally, you’ll have to move out.”
Of course, he would not let Su Wan do whatever she wanted.
This half a month was a buffer period, and it was also his final warning to Su Wan.
He advised her not to have any other thoughts.
Otherwise, she would harm herself and others.
…
Half a month?
A faint anxiety flashed through Su Wan’s heart, but she did not dare to show it at all.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She nodded at Fiennes in agreement.
“Okay! All I want is a little respect. I don’t care about anything else.”
