Chapter 624 - Emphasis And Hesitation
Chapter 624: Emphasis And Hesitation
Diya stared at the ring on Su Wan’s left ring finger, and her mind drifted away.
She was sure that she was not mistaken…
She just did not know who had given this ring to Su Wan.
It was just a small diamond ring. Although the platinum ring body was exquisite and elegant, from the size and carat of the ring’s diamond, it was obvious that this diamond ring was not very valuable.
Wearing a ring on the ring finger of the left hand meant getting married. It was an old custom passed down from a long time ago. There were many places that did not have such a custom now.
However, if one was unmarried, they would not wear the ring there to avoid misunderstandings.
As for Su Wan’s ring, the place where she wore it was a little too coincidental…
A thoughtful look flashed across Diya’s amber eyes. She glanced at the blue diamond bracelet on Su Wan’s left hand and a hint of jealousy appeared in her heart.
Compared to the diamond ring on Su Wan’s ring finger, this blue diamond bracelet was obviously much more valuable.
The blue diamond bracelet was dazzling. Under the illumination of the lights, it was almost impossible to take one’s eyes off it.
More than ten blue diamonds were carefully strung together. Each one was the same size, without any flaws, and the quality was excellent.
And the blue diamond necklace in the middle was carved into the shape of a blue rose. It was perfectly cut, like the stars surrounding the moon. It was flowing with brilliant colors, making people unable to put it down.
With such a design and cutting method, as well as these ten flawless blue diamonds, it was likely that they were priceless and could not be found on the market!
How could a commoner like Su Wan afford such an expensive blue diamond bracelet?!
Without a doubt, this blue diamond bracelet was definitely given to her by the Emperor!
The more Diya thought about it, the more jealous she felt. It was as if there was a venomous snake hidden in her heart, constantly gnawing at her flesh and blood, making her unable to rest in peace.
What on earth did that woman use to gain the favor of His Highness?!
She was actually arrogant because of his favor, asking His Highness to buy her such precious jewelry!
She was just a lowly commoner girl. Even if she had a pretty good face, it was nothing!
Diya stared at the beautiful face not far away, and the more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt.
Her fingernails slowly sank into her palm, and she did not even realize that she was pinching a bloody mark.
Fiennes saw that his sister’s expression was not right, so he quickly walked over.
He looked at Diya worriedly, his blue eyes showing no concern.
“Diya, what’s wrong?”
Actually, Fiennes also knew that from the focus of his sister’s gaze just now, he could guess what was on Diya’s mind.
Why was Diya still unwilling to let go?
In Fiennes’ opinion, the emperor’s attitude towards Diya was already cold enough. Someone as proud as his sister should let go of him sooner.
“Brother, I’m fine.”
Diya raised her head and glanced at Fiennes. She bit her plump lips and gave a perfunctory reply. Then, she quickly walked towards the location of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan.
No matter what, she had to ask about Su Wan’s diamond ring.
It was better to believe it than not to believe it.
Even if it was to cause the emperor to have a little more estrangement towards Su Wan, it would still be good.
A married woman still had the face to stay by the side of the Emperor. Wouldn’t she be laughing her head off?!
Fiennes did not expect Diya to actually abandon him and directly walk towards the emperor and Su Wan!
“Diya–”
Could it be that this girl wanted to cause some trouble?!
Fiennes was worried and hurriedly took large strides to follow his sister’s footsteps.
Diya did not even look at Fiennes. Her amber eyes stared at Su Wan’s body. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but she hid it very well.
“Miss Su…”
Su Wan heard the gentle call behind her, and a chill ran down her spine.
Su Wan’s expression became serious, and she tilted her head to look behind her.
She saw Diya standing behind her with a faint smile, and a tall man beside her. It was her half-brother Fiennes.
Diya curved her lips into a faint smile. The arrogance from before had long disappeared. Her graceful figure was like a blossoming sunset flower under the moonlight.
Pure white, elegant, and with a hint of innocence between a girl and a woman.
Su Wan saw the smile on Diya’s face, but goosebumps appeared in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable from head to toe.
When she was on Earth, Su Wan had seen how terrifying a woman’s jealousy was.
Diya clearly liked Jiang Xuecheng, and had repeatedly made things difficult for her because of Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan was not naive enough to think that the eldest daughter of the Siswell family was really showing her goodwill.
Based on the principle of “When the soldiers come, the general will block them. When the water comes, the soil will cover it.”Su Wan also nodded at the girl in front of her. Su Wan’s attitude was polite and gentle, but it was clearly distant.
“Miss Diya.”
Diya glanced at Su Wan. She was very displeased with Su Wan’s indifferent expression.
She was just a commoner, how dare she be displeased with her?
Diya snorted in her heart, but the smile on her face was still warm.
“Miss Su, your diamond ring is really beautiful. Can you take it off for me to take a look?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She did not expect Diya to be interested in her wedding ring.
Su Wan’s wedding ring was actually quite low-key. Moreover, Diya was clearly staring at her blue diamond bracelet just now. Why did she suddenly change her target?
Su Wan stroked the ring on her left ring finger. She was unwilling to let Diya watch it.
This was a wedding ring given to her by Jiang Xuecheng. Its value was only secondary. The most important thing was the sense of remembrance.
It would not be good if Diya broke the ring in the name of watching it.
With the temperament of this rich young lady, Su Wan had no doubt that she would do such a thing.
After all, Diya’s status was noble. If she really broke the ring and apologized again, she would only be at a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, Su Wan would rather offend Diya a little more than let anything happen to the ring.
Su Wan smiled apologetically at Diya.
“I’m sorry, Miss Diya. This is a gift from someone very important to me. Please forgive me for not being able to take it off.”
Seeing how Su Wan rejected her mercilessly and even claimed that this ring was given to her by someone “important to me,” Diya’s beautiful eyes flashed. She thought that Su Wan was guilty.
Her smile was full, and the corners of her lips curled into an understanding smile.
“Miss Su, it seems that you value this ring very much. I’ve heard that many places wear rings on their left ring finger to signify that they are already married. Could it be that Miss Su is already married?”
When she said the last sentence, Diya deliberately emphasized the word “married,” causing many people to stretch their necks to look over.
Diya giggled. She stared straight at Su Wan, waiting for Su Wan to give an answer.
Su Wan pursed her lips. She looked at Diya’s arrogant smile and did not know how to answer for a moment.
Su Wan frowned. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xuecheng, her expression absent-minded.
“I–”
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s hesitation and was suddenly afraid of Su Wan’s answer.
Was this woman really married?
He had noticed early on that Su Wan treasured that ring very much.
