Chapter 963: There’s No Way Out
Su Wan did not expect that sometimes waiting could not lead to a happy ending.
The change happened the day before the wedding banquet.
On that day, Fiennes suddenly said that he would take Su Wan to get a marriage certificate. Su Wan never thought that there would be something like a marriage certificate in this world.
It was not that she had not thought of it, but that she did not want to think about it.
On her citizenship certificate, on the list of partners, she was going to brand the name of someone other than Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan was not willing to do that.
Fiennes placed a pile of exquisite clothes in front of Su Wan. His voice was as low as a cello, but there was no room for discussion.
“Put this on, then we’ll go get the certificate.”
Su Wan was stunned. She glanced at the gorgeous dress on the table, and her fingertips trembled involuntarily.
Get the certificate?
Su Wan looked at Fiennes hesitantly, her expression a little uneasy.
“Fiennes… since you only married me to lure the Jiang… His Highness out, it should be enough walking out in a dress during the wedding banquet, why do we have to get the certificate?”
If she got the certificate, it would have legal effect.
Although this was a completely unfamiliar world, Su Wan still cared about this matter.
Fiennes could see Su Wan’s unease. His blue eyes flashed and a haze flashed across his heart.
“What? Do you think that after I announced that you were my fiancée a few days ago, there’s still a possibility of a change between the two of us?”
How could there not be?!
Su Wan subconsciously retorted in her heart. However, her life was still in the other party’s hands. She did not dare to provoke Fiennes like this, so she could only use her emotions and reason.
“You can’t say that completely, young master Fiennes. If you find a girl you like in the future, and if we don’t get married, then you can still consider her as your first marriage.”
Uh… Although Su Wan also felt that Fiennes would probably not like anyone, even if he did, she still would have an effect on the second half of the girl’s life.
If Diya and Fiennes were not related by blood, they would be quite suitable for development. What a pity.
Fiennes glanced at Su Wan. Although his voice was still low, it was obvious that he was a little impatient.
“At this point, there’s no way out. Su Wan, accept reality.”
As Fiennes spoke, he turned around and walked out of the door.
Just as he stepped out of Su Wan’s room, he suddenly turned around and threatened her.
“I’ll come and look for you in half an hour. If you don’t want to change, I don’t mind changing you myself.”
…
Su Wan’s lips couldn’t help but sink, and her face showed a bit of anxiety.
And Fiennes had already left.
In the spacious room, only Su Wan was left, and it was empty. However, Fiennes’ last threat seemed to be still echoing in Su Wan’s ears.
Su Wan’s eyes flashed. She stared at the gorgeous dress on the table, and even her breathing was a bit sluggish.
To change, or not to change?
This was not up to her to decide.
Su Wan sighed. She would not be so narcissistic that she would think that Fiennes was infatuated with her. However… Su Wan did not dare to bet on a man’s self-control.
It was not that Su Wan did not want to get married, but… she did not want to marry someone besides Jiang Xuecheng.
If there was such a person in this world who shared the same heart and mind with you, no matter how good or powerful another person was, what did that have to do with you?
Su Wan’s fingertips trembled. She took a deep breath and finally carried the dress to the changing room.
She closed the door.
Then, Su Wan took the ribbon that was tied into a bow and opened the package of the dress,
Inside was a beautiful red embroidered dress. It was somewhat similar to a dragon and phoenix gown, with layers of silk embroidery and brocade.
In the hem and girdle of the dress, the lilies were outlined with exquisite techniques. It seemed like it had the meaning of wishing a long and happy life together, and there was a hint of exquisiteness in the extravagance.
Along with the red embroidered dress, there were jewelry and high heels from the same series, a set of diamond earrings carved into lilies, and a red jade bracelet that was overflowing with color.
Everything was so exquisite and expensive. Looking at these precious things in detail, one could guess that they were the work of a famous person.
Under the warm-colored lights of the changing room, there was a bit of a bridal celebration.
If it were any other girl, she would be very happy to see this, right?
Su Wan sighed again, her slender fingers slowly caressing the incomparably exquisite fabric.
Thus, Su Wan changed out of her original dress and put on the red embroidered coat. She simply tucked her raven-black hair behind her ears.
She looked so beautiful in the mirror, but… she did not look happy.
Su Wan had never thought that she would marry a second person one day.
Before the wedding banquet was held, she had to leave her ID card and write the names of someone else on it.
Su Wan could not help but sigh again. She lowered her head and stroked the red jade bracelet that was even more beautiful than blood. She felt so indignant.
However, there was nothing she could do.
She just needed to endure it a little longer.
When the wedding banquet was held tomorrow, Jiang Xuecheng would definitely come and save her, right?
Su Wan instilled such a belief in herself. She splashed her face with cold water. Her originally pale face was stimulated by the cold water and finally looked a little better.
She could not just admit defeat like this.
…
After staying in the locker room for about half an hour, Su Wan reluctantly walked out.
Fiennes had already arrived.
Fiennes had also changed into a new set of clothes. It was an extremely grand black suit with an extremely close-fitting cut, which made him look even more handsome and dignified.
The wine-red tie, on the other hand, reduced the sense of solemnity. It was tied with a gentleman’s Windsor knot, and the buckle of the belt was inlaid with diamonds. It was low-key and luxurious.
Fiennes stared at Su Wan. His voice was mellow and full of unconcealed satisfaction.
“As expected, my taste is not wrong. This red suit suits you very well.”
Su Wan did not seem to wear bright colors in the Siswell family. She would always wear plain colors like pale white, light blue, and light purple.
But in fact, Su Wan wearing bright colors had another kind of beauty.
Su Wan nodded at Fiennes. She wondered if Fiennes had chosen her clothes. However, Su Wan would not ask this question in person. She could only express her gratitude.
“Thank you.”
Hearing Su Wan’s polite but distant words, the smile on Fiennes’ lips froze.
“When we get married today, we will be a real couple. Su Wan, you don’t have to be so polite.”
This was a reminder and also… a warning.
Su Wan could see that Fiennes was unhappy. She could only keep a stiff expression and use silence to express her resistance.
However, Fiennes did not allow Su Wan to have such an ambiguous attitude.
He took a step forward, his eyes deep and dangerous.
“Do you understand?”
Without waiting for Su Wan to be on guard, Fiennes directly held Su Wan’s hand!
