Chapter 569: Great Pressure
Fiennes was curious about what Su Wan had seen outside the window. She looked like she was frightened.
Fiennes turned his head. A slender figure soon appeared in his line of sight. His entire body exuded a cold and detached aura.
It was the newly promoted emperor of the God’s Palace.
The emperor stood on the street outside the shop. He was expressionless. His pitch-black eyes were also looking in their direction.
His gaze was cold, as if he wanted to chisel two holes into the person behind the window through the thin, transparent glass.
Fiennes was stunned. He did not expect Su Wan to know the Emperor. He only thought that Su Wan was frightened by the emperor’s imposing manner.
Speaking of which, who would dare to look at the emperor like this?
It was not strange that Su Wan was frightened…
Looking at the emperor’s expression, Fiennes mistook it to be because he had been drugged last night, the emperor was very unhappy with him.
Sigh, it seemed that this matter, even if he turned the page, would still become a knot in the heart between the emperor and the Siswell family.
A faint light flashed through Fiennes’ eyes. He stood up and respectfully nodded to the person outside the window.
“Good afternoon, Your Highness.”
Although they were separated by a window, since they had met, they had to show the proper etiquette to the emperor.
Even if he did not like the newly promoted Emperor, Fiennes was a smart and tactful person. He definitely would not fall behind in such superficial skills.
To Fiennes’ surprise, the person outside the window actually nodded in a rare manner. Then, he strode towards the entrance of the coffee shop.
When he saw the figure walking into the coffee shop, Fiennes was momentarily stunned.
Did His Majesty mean to come in just to see him?
This was really not in line with His Majesty’s usual behaviour…
Su Wan felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She did not know why, but she felt that Jiang Xuecheng had been glaring at her from outside.
She had clearly done nothing and Jiang Xuecheng had lost his memories. However, when she saw Jiang Xuecheng’s ice-cold gaze, why did she have the illusion that she had been caught?
The moment this thought popped up, Su Wan’s forehead twitched.
Bah bah bah, what was she thinking about.
Caught, what the hell…
Very soon, that slender figure approached from afar and stopped at the table next to the window where Su Wan and Fiennes were.
“Fiennes, who is this young lady?”
A cold and indifferent male voice sounded in the air. The man asked casually and naturally.
Su Wan lowered her head. The hand under the tablecloth kept tugging at her, she did not know where to look.
–Very well. I just warned you yesterday not to forget my name again. Today, you pretend not to know me.
Fiennes did not think too much about it. Since the Emperor had asked, he introduced Su Wan to him.
“Your Highness, this is Miss Su Wan, the Guqin player you were curious about.”
“So it was you who played the Guqin at the birthday party yesterday.”
The emperor looked down at Su Wan. His gaze was as cold as ice, and his overly calm voice was devoid of any emotions.
Su Wan felt as if she had been pricked by a needle as her heart ached.
Su Wan stood up and nodded slightly at the man beside her. A sincere smile appeared on her lips.
“I didn’t expect Your Highness to be curious about me. Does Your Highness like to listen to the Guqin?”
When Su Wan asked this question, there was no lack of hope in her heart.
This was because when she was on Earth, Jiang Xuecheng would occasionally give Su Wan some pointers on the melody.
However, from the looks of it now, playing the Guqin and flute together with him seemed like a dream from another life.
However, to Su Wan’s surprise, Jiang Xuecheng did not look at her, nor did he answer her. Instead, he directly and coldly said a sentence to Fiennes.
“The two of you would not mind having another party joining for lunch, would you?”
Jiang Xuecheng did not respond. Su Wan stood awkwardly on the spot for a while, and in the end, she could only sit back down.
Fiennes glanced at Su Wan with some sympathy. The emperor was a perverse person, so it was not strange for Su Wan to receive the Emperor’s cold treatment.
But today, His Majesty the Emperor actually took the initiative to ask for a meal together!
Fiennes could not help but feel a little confused. What an abnormal event it was!
If Diya was here, she would definitely be overjoyed. Other than yesterday’s birthday party, when had she ever been allowed to invite His Highness to a meal?
How strange, how very strange.
Fiennes secretly wiped away a tear for his sister as he smiled and nodded at His Majesty the Emperor.
“It would be my pleasure. It’s Su Wan’s and my honor to be able to dine with Your Highness.”
He and Su Wan…
Hearing this, the emperor’s face suddenly darkened.
He didn’t know why, but hearing Fiennes calling himself and Su Wan together made him very unhappy.
The emperor’s pitch-black eyes swept across Su Wan. Seeing that this woman was on pins and needles, he snorted slightly and sat down next to Su Wan without any courtesy.
Su Wan suddenly felt a chill. It was as if she was sitting next to an automatic cooling air conditioner that was constantly blowing cold wind.
For the first time, she felt that it was very strange for Jiang Xuecheng to sit next to her…
When Fiennes saw Su Wan’s trembling appearance, he thought that Su Wan was frightened by the cold-eyed emperor.
He glanced at Su Wan sympathetically and then handed the menu to the man opposite him.
“Your Highness, would you like to add a few more dishes?”
In fact, he had already ordered enough dishes for the three of them. However, it was not right to not give the emperor the chance to order his own dishes.
Su Wan lowered her eyebrows and kept looking at Jiang Xuecheng from the corner of her eyes. She was a little curious about what dishes he would order.
She had volunteered to be a chef yesterday. She wondered if Jiang Xuecheng’s taste had changed after he lost his memory.
For example, did he like spicy food?
To Su Wan’s disappointment, he glanced at the menu and returned it to Fiennes coldly.
“There’s no need to add more.”
The dishes were served very quickly in this restaurant. A table full of dishes was swiftly prepared.
Su Wan ate two mouthfuls of steamed sea bass. She didn’t know whether it was because she had something on her mind or the quality of the dishes in this restaurant was not up to standard. She really didn’t have an appetite.
However, anyone who sat next to a mountain would probably feel pressured.
Clearly, Jiang Xuecheng was eating quietly and elegantly without even looking at her. Su Wan felt that the food was even more difficult to swallow.
No one spoke during the meal. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting stranger, Fiennes suddenly placed a peeled lobster into Su Wan’s bowl.
Su Wan stared at the red lobster that suddenly appeared in her bowl. She immediately raised her head.
Su Wan looked at Fiennes in surprise. However, she saw that Fiennes was smiling and looking at her with great concern.
“Miss Su, you don’t look like you’ve tasted this before. The lobster tastes pretty good. Try it.”
As soon as he said this, Su Wan felt a sharp gaze that was like an arrow shot at her coldly.
