Diya looked at the handsome and dignified man in front of her and widened her eyes in disbelief.

  The side of the man’s face was illuminated by the moonlight, but his expression seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, giving off a bone-penetrating coldness!

  He held her hand so hard that Diya did not even doubt that as long as the man was willing, her wrist could be broken easily!

  Her heart felt as though it had been pricked by a rusty needle.

  It was so painful.

  It was even more biting than the pain on her wrist.

  Diya bit her lips, and her amber eyes suddenly revealed a deep sorrow.

  This scene was so laughable!

  She had always imagined that His Highness would one day be willing to touch her hand, but she had never thought that it would be in such a situation!

  There wasn’t the slightest bit of tenderness, it just made her feel a chill down her spine!

  His Highness actually stopped her hand in order to give his to another woman!

  Moreover, Su Wan’s status was still so lowly, how could she be worthy of His Highness’ good gestures?!

  When Fiennes saw that his sister wanted to hit Su Wan, he originally wanted to step forward to stop her, but he didn’t expect that His Highness would actually beat him to it.

  And now, the situation seemed to have gone out of control……

  Fiennes’ heart sank. He was about to ask the emperor to let go of Diya. Both sides should stop, but he didn’t expect his sister to speak up.

  “Your Highness, are you going to go against me for such a lowly woman?”


  Diya looked at the god-like man in front of her, her eyes infatuated.

  However, the man did not respond. He just sneered and let go of Diya’s wrist.

  Although the pain on her wrist was so intense, Diya could not help but laugh, but her eyes were filled with tears.

  Hearing Diya’s disrespectful words, Fiennes’ heart instantly jumped to his throat!

  “Diya, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if you are joking, you should have some reason!”


  The people of the Siswell family had noble statuses, but they were still a layer apart from the emperor of the God’s Palace.

  Over the years, the relationship between the Siswell family and the God’s Palace had become more and more complicated.

  Compared to being subservient to others, of course, it was much more satisfying to stand on top of the clouds.

  However, even though the God’s Palace had become more and more corrupt over the years, it still controlled the lifeblood of the various planets. Hence, no matter what the path ahead was, Fiennes felt that he had to at least put in enough effort on the surface.

  He couldn’t leave any traces for others to talk about.

  After Fiennes finished speaking, he stepped forward and stood between Diya and Jiang Xuecheng, telling Diya not to think too highly of herself.

  He saw the bright red mark on Diya’s wrist, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

  It seemed that His Highness was truly angry!

  Although there were no traces of blood, he was afraid that there were bruises. It was better to bring her to the back for a good examination first.

  His delicate younger sister had been spoiled since she was young. She would definitely feel very sad after being humiliated by the Emperor in public.

  Fiennes pursed his lips. He swept a glance at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, and his heart grew heavier.

  Through so many signs, Fiennes could no longer say that the emperor and Su Wan were just acting.

  From the degree of redness on Diya’s hands, Fiennes felt that the emperor and Su Wan probably had some kind of unclear relationship.

  Fiennes had originally wanted to invite Su Wan to dance, but now it seemed that the matter was becoming more and more troublesome.

  However, now was not the time to think about this. He had to properly do Diya’s ideological work first.

  This little girl had a high heart. If he did not properly comfort her, he was really afraid that she would cause trouble later on.

  After Fiennes understood what was at stake, he hurriedly nodded at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.

  “Your Highness, Miss Su, Diya and I will excuse ourselves first. You two have fun.”


  Diya felt extremely wronged. How could she be willing to leave with Fiennes like this? She stared fixedly at Su Wan for a long time, wishing that she could poke two holes in Su Wan’s body.

  If it was not for Fiennes pulling at her arm, Diya would have pounced on her with bared fangs and brandished claws, using her nails to scratch Su Wan’s face!

  If she were to leave with her brother, who knows how this vixen would bewitch His Highness!

  His Highness must only like Su Wan’s pretty face, right?!

  Ha! Other than only being pretty, this woman had nothing else to show!

  Su Wan felt a chill run down her spine from Diya’s gaze, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but find it funny.

  In Su Wan’s eyes, Diya was really like a spoiled child. She did not know how to control her temper at all.

  “What are you laughing at!”


  Seeing the slight smile on Su Wan’s face, Diya’s anger rose. She immediately shook off Fiennes’ arm.

  “Brother, I’m not leaving!”


  Seeing Diya being so willful, Fiennes’ face turned cold on the spot. He directly dragged Diya to the lounge at the back.

  “Behave yourself! Do you still think that you haven’t embarrassed yourself enough today?!”


  Hearing that, Diya could not help but shiver.

  She rarely saw Fiennes’ cold and stern look. Diya immediately understood that her brother was really angry.

  She had always listened to Fiennes’ words the most. So after thinking for a second, she still stopped.

  Diya pouted aggrievedly. After giving Su Wan a glare, she angrily followed Fiennes to the lounge.

  Hmph, just you wait and see!

  This was the territory of the Siswell family. Even if His Highness was protecting her, she would not let that vixen have a good life!……

  After Diya and Fiennes left, Su Wan suddenly felt that her surroundings had quieted down, leaving only the beautiful dance music lingering in her ears.

  Many of the surrounding guests had initially looked at them, but because there was nothing to see now, they immediately shifted their gazes and started dancing to the music.

  Seeing the others’ practiced dance steps and elegant rotating postures made her unable to help but look a little dazed.

  The man standing next to Su Wan saw that Su Wan was distracted. He pursed his thin lips slightly and spoke in an indifferent voice.

  “The ring on your left hand, aren’t you going to explain it to me?”


  It was clearly a question, but it carried pressure.

  Su Wan was startled when she heard that. She turned her head to look at the slender figure beside her and frowned slightly.

  So, Jiang Xuecheng still cared about this matter!

  But sometimes, Su Wan couldn’t understand why Jiang Xuecheng would care.

  Their current status was awkward and embarrasing. Let alone husband and wife, they weren’t even lovers. It was more like they were superior and subordinate.

  What right did Jiang Xuecheng have to ask about her personal matters?!

  Seeing that Su Wan did not speak, the emperor lowered his head and reached out to hold Su Wan’s left hand in his palm.

  Based on his understanding of Su Wan, if she had the confidence, she would have refuted earlier.

  However, Su Wan did not. She even hesitated for a long time but could not think of any words.

  This woman was obviously feeling guilty.

  The reason why Su Wan valued the ring so much was not because of the value of the ring itself, but because the person who gave it to her was very important to her.

  When he thought of this, his expression turned cold.

  “The person who gave you this ring was a man, right?”
