Before Fiennes could finish his sentence, Su Wan shuddered and was completely dumbfounded!
She had never expected Fiennes to ask that!
What did he mean by that?!
Although she was indeed a good-looking woman, Su Wan knew that Fiennes was definitely not the kind of person who would propose because he was infatuated with a personâs appearance.
Su Wan was very self-aware. She was not so charming that she could make this crazy man fall in love with her.
Otherwise, when she was on Planet Aquamarine with Jiang Xuecheng, Fiennes would not have planned the car crash without hesitation.
If she and Jiang Xuecheng were not so lucky, they would have been eaten by the sea fish long ago!
âYoung Master Fiennes, you must be joking. I will not joke about such a big thing like marriage. Whether you believe it or not, I am already married.â
Su Wan smiled awkwardly at Fiennes. For a moment, she could not figure out what this man meant.
What benefits would Fiennes have bringing up marriage?
It was precisely because Su Wan could not think of it that she felt the most terrified.
With Fiennesâ background and the opportunity to fight for power at this moment, he should find a well-matched noble and socialite who could help him.
Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that Fiennes was trying to sugar-coat her, but Su Wan subconsciously rejected this possibility.
Because from Fiennesâ expression, it seemed that he was serious...
Just as Su Wan was puzzled, Fiennes suddenly spoke.
âMiss Su, are you trying to say that you are married to the Emperor? At the banquet, His Highness did personally propose to you, but both of you are unmarried on your identity documents.â
As Fiennes spoke, his eyes were locked onto Su Wan with a burning gaze. His pair of azure blue eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
âSince Miss Su has yet to officially make an engagement with the emperor, then to me, I have the right to pursue Miss Su, right?â
When Su Wan heard this, the corners of her lips twitched speechlessly.
She did not understand why Fiennes would insist on this point.
If Fiennes were to marry her, there would be no benefit at all...
Wait a minute...
When Su Wan saw Fiennes mention Jiang Xuecheng, she was stunned and instantly thought of something!
If there was only one thing she had left to use, it was most likely that Fiennes wanted to use her against Jiang Xuecheng.
Since Fiennes saw that she was not dead, he must have expected that Jiang Xuecheng was still alive and well in some corner of the world.
Su Wan had not seen Jiang Xuecheng for the past few days. She was extremely anxious, afraid that something would happen to Jiang Xuecheng.
However, judging from Fiennesâ expression, there should be nothing happening to Jiang Xuecheng at the moment, right?
As long as he was fine...
She was obviously under someoneâs control now, but when she thought that Jiang Xuecheng should still be safe for the time being, Su Wan let out an inexplicable sigh of relief.
She also became calmer than before.
âYoung Master Fiennes, letâs not talk about the other things between the two of us. Our family backgrounds are not very suitable. Moreover, you said before that His Highness had proposed to me before. Itâs impossible for me to marry someone else.â
Su Wanâs resolute voice swept past his ears. Fiennesâ hand, which was hidden under his sleeve, suddenly clenched.
The back of his pale hand could not help but show veins of malevolence.
It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of being rejected by others.
But it didnât matter. As long as it was what he wanted, there was never a reason why he couldnât get it.
If worst came to worst, he could just snatch it. If he couldnât snatch it, he could just destroy it. If he couldnât get it, at least he couldnât give it to others.
This was probably Fiennesâ value.
âWhat if he dies?â
Fiennes looked at Su Wan calmly and said these words indifferently, as if he wasnât talking about the life and death of Jiang Xuecheng, but about what lunch he would have tomorrow.
When Su Wan heard this, her pupils suddenly widened!
Because Fiennesâ expression was too calm and composed, it was precisely because of this contrast that Su Wanâs heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously blurted out!
âWhat did you do to him?!â
Once she said this, Su Wan felt that she was too impatient!
It was just that there was no medicine for regret in this world. If she said it out loud, she would not be able to take it back.
Fiennes half-crossed his arms and looked at Su Wan calmly. His calm and composed appearance only served to accentuate Su Wanâs panic.
âMiss Su, what do you think I will do to the emperor if he falls into my hands? Will I throw him into the sea to feed the fish like on Planet Aquamarine, or will I torture him to death bit by bit?â
Su Wan felt a pain in her heart. She bit the corner of her lips and felt the smell of rust coming from between her lips and teeth. She instantly became a little more clear-headed.
Because he mentioned Jiang Xuecheng, she almost lost control of her emotions just now.
If she did that, she would only be following Fiennesâ train of thought.
She could not just sit and wait for death, nor could she be fooled by Fiennes with just a few words.
âYoung Master Fiennes, since you just used âif,â can I determine that you canât catch His Highness, let alone kill him in any way...â
Fiennes smiled, as if he was in a good mood, and his voice became deeper and more pleasant.
âWhy are you so sure, Miss Su? What if I say that Iâve already caught His Highness and even confronted him face to face?â
Su Wanâs heart skipped a beat, and her hands slightly clenched, and her fingertips unconsciously became a bit pale.
âHis Highness is my husband, and I believe in him. Even if heâs confronted you, itâs impossible for him to be caught so easily by you.â
Jiang Xuecheng was not her. Whether it was in terms of physical fitness or astuteness, he was far superior to her. If he had any plans, he must have been well prepared.
Otherwise, Jiang Xuecheng would not have deliberately said that he would be leaving for three to five days.
Obviously, he had received some news, but he did not want to put her in danger by following him.
Fiennes seemed to have expected Su Wan to say that. He reached out his palm and slapped it three times.
In fact, Su Wanâs guess was correct.
Indeed, the Jiang Xuecheng didnât fall into his hands.
Moreover, not only that, he even saved the high priest!
When Fiennes found out about this, he was so furious that he wanted to expose the entire Godâs Palace!
Jiang Xuecheng brought along the heavily injured high priest and wanted to leave the secret chamber of the Godâs Palace. Obviously, it wouldnât be that easy.
Fiennes didnât know how many spies the high priest and Jiang Xuecheng had planted by his side. However, taking this opportunity, it was a good time to clean up the Godâs Palace.
And he couldnât tell Su Wan about these things.
...
âMiss Su, seeing how determined you are, Iâm moved by your camaraderie with the Emperor. The emperor is indeed not in my hands right now.â
When Su Wan heard this, her face immediately lit up with joy!
However, before she could be happy for a second, Fiennes paused for a moment. His originally lazy and casual gaze instantly turned cold!
âBut Miss Su, take a guess. Now that you are here, if I say that I am going to marry you, will the infatuated emperor come to save you?â
