Fiennes looked at the time displayed on his wristwatch. A faint light flashed across his blue eyes.
He seemed to be… almost two hours late.
Su Wan should have left already, right?
Thinking of how he had promised to be on time the last time, Fiennes frowned.
In fact, he had a good impression of that girl called Su Wan. He had wanted to use the opportunity to chat with her for a while, trying to improve her impression of him. He had not expected to make such a blunder.
A beautiful face suddenly popped up in his mind. She had completely oriental facial features, almond-shaped eyes, and dark eyebrows. Even if she did not speak, she had a quiet and elegant temperament.
Since he was young, Fiennes had seen countless beauties. Some were bright and elegant, some were from small families, and some were even more stunning than Su Wan.
However, he had to admit that the girl called Su Wan was very special. Especially when she played the Guqin, she had an indescribable beauty.
Even the sadness between her brows could not help but make people want to soothe her.
If it was not for the sudden incident at Diya’s birthday party yesterday, and the fact that Diya had been scared the whole night, why would he be dragged here in such a hurry?
He had even forgotten about this appointment.
Being so late, perhaps even the best-tempered person would think that he was putting on airs.
When Fiennes thought of this, he could not help but smile bitterly. If he stood Su Wan up like this, Su Wan would probably have a negative impression of him.
Diya was immersed in the joy of being forgiven by the emperor. She did not notice the strange look on Fiennes’ face.
Diya reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. She smiled and raised her head, pulling Fiennes back to his senses.
“Brother, you are right. His Highness is just embarrassed. Since he saved me, it means that he is willing to believe me. Brother, let’s go home.”
Diya’s sweet female voice rang in his ears. Fiennes suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Diya with some pity and reached out to caress her head.
This sister of his was really infatuated with the emperor.
Fiennes was thinking about whether he should hold a ball or a social party in the near future so that his sister could see more young talents of similar age and dispel her feelings towards the emperor.
After all, His Highness had deep thoughts because of what happened last night. He definitely had a grudge against his sister.
No matter how he looked at it, the emperor did not seem like a suitable man for Diya to entrust her life.
Thinking of this, Fiennes’ blue eyes flickered slightly. Perhaps he should have arranged Diya’s marriage earlier.
Yesterday, he had allowed Diya to cause trouble because he thought that he might be able to give his sister a glimmer of hope. Now that this glimmer of hope was broken, it was better to break Diya’s thoughts soon.
His sister was the first daughter of the Siswell family. Her status was noble and her looks were one in a million. Looking at the various large families and influences, there were definitely many young men who were suitable for marriage who were interested in his sister.
Finding a suitable opportunity to set them up was the right thing to do.
When Fiennes had an idea in his mind, his expression softened.
He took a light breath and smiled at the girl beside him.
“Diya, you go back first. I still have someone to see. I’ll go later.”
The person Fiennes wanted to see was Su Wan.
Regardless of whether Su Wan had left or not, he had to go and see Su Wan first to minimize the negative impression of himself.
Fiennes knew the address where Su Wan lived. He had wanted to visit her in the past, but he could not find the right time. This time, he had a reason to meet her.
Fiennes’ deep voice brushed past her ears, causing Diya to be stunned.
Who else was her brother going to meet?
It could not be the emperor, right? He had already rejected her and her brother once again…
Diya frowned and looked at Fiennes curiously. “Brother, who are you going to see?”
Fiennes smiled but did not say anything.
“I’m going to find someone. It has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry about it.”
Fiennes often used Diya’s young age to shut her up. Diya thought that her brother was hiding something important from her.
Diya pursed her lips and rolled her eyes arrogantly at the man in front of her.
“Tsk, I don’t want to know if you don’t want to tell me!”
Diya turned around and ran towards the end of the corridor with a smile. She suddenly turned around and made a funny face. That childish smile made Fiennes smile uncontrollably.
Fiennes knew that his sister was indeed very willful. She could even be said to be unruly.
However, unruly people also had the right to be unruly. As the daughter of the Siswell family, Diya should have been pampered like a pearl in the palm of others.
Although Fiennes and Diya’s father was the same, they were not born from the same mother.
Because Fiennes’ mother’s birth status was low, and she had passed away early, Fiennes did not have a good life in his early years in the Siswell family. He was often looked down upon and bullied by others.
However, the younger Diya often liked to protect him. Later on, because Fiennes had a high inheritance of Dragon’s Blood, he was directly promoted to the position of the successor of the Siswell family. Diya was even happier for him from the bottom of her heart.
From then on, Fiennes was determined to protect his sister. She was a little unreasonable, but in Fiennes’ eyes, she was also cute and a little naive.
To a large extent, Diya’s bold character was the result of being spoiled by Fiennes and the Siswell family.
…
Fiennes rode the maglev car and arrived at the hotel where Su Wan was staying.
Although the lady boss of the hotel didn’t know Fiennes, she immediately knew that he was a VIP when she saw his imposing manner and expensive clothes.
However, their hotel was still small. She did not know why such an important guest would come.
The lady boss quickly put on a friendly face like a businesswoman and greeted him with a smile.
“Sir, are you staying here?”
Fiennes looked the small hotel and frowned without leaving a trace.
So Su Wan lived in this kind of place. It looked really shabby.
This place did not match up to that beautiful woman at all.
If Fiennes had not investigated and found out that Su Wan was born into a commoner family with both her parents dead, and that she came here from a very remote new immigrant planet, Fiennes would have thought that Su Wan was a young lady from a noble family.
Seeing the lady boss approach him warmly, Fiennes furrowed his brows. He could not help but take half a step back, and a flawless smile appeared on his face.
“Hello, does Miss Su Wan live here?”
Hearing this, the lady boss opened her eyes wide in realization — no wonder, she was wondering why there was such a rare guest today.
So he was looking for Su Wan…
The lady boss nodded with a smile and pointed to the upstairs to Fiennes warmly.
“Miss Su does live here, but she went out early in the morning and hasn’t come back yet. Sir, are you a friend of Miss Su?”
