Chapter 821: Meeting For The First Time
Fiennes was a little worried when he saw his sister rushing out like crazy. He was about to chase after her when he saw the high priest walk in without him knowing.
Fiennes was stunned and immediately stopped walking.
Meanwhile, Diya’s eyes were blurry as if she did not recognize the high priest at all. She bumped into the high priest but still ran away without looking back.
The luxurious Persian cat in the High Priest’s arms was frightened by Diya. The cat screamed softly and then jumped to the ground.
The High Priest looked at her cat with heartache. Then, she turned around and looked in the direction where Diya was running to.
Diya was probably so angry that her mind was not clear anymore. She stumbled all the way and soon ran out of the high priest’s sight.
Fiennes wanted to find Diya, but after thinking about today’s occasion, Diya should be fine, so he decided to stay behind to deal with what happened next.
He really did not want Diya to marry Jiang Xuecheng, so if the high priest insisted on a marriage alliance, he would reject it on the grounds that the emperor was too heartless.
His silly and sweet sister was just a little petty. If she really became a chess piece for the marriage alliance, she would probably be used by the high priest until there was nothing left, let alone be happy.
Of course, on the other hand, Fiennes did not want Diya to ruin his plan.
…
After Diya ran away crazily, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stood side by side. The two of them held hands, as if they would not be afraid even if the sky fell.
Fiennes stood alone in a corner indifferently. There was not the slightest trace of panic on his face as his sister ran away crazily.
The high priest swept her gaze across the people in the hall. Her slender eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes, which were as silent as the night, were filled with an indescribable arrogance and indifference.
“What are you all doing? What happened to Diya? Why did she rush out crying?”
In fact, even if someone were to describe it, the high priest could roughly guess the situation when he saw Su Wan holding hands with Jiang Xuecheng.
Heh, Jiang Xuecheng really doesn’t know how to ease her worries!
Su Wan’s body now had the CHK Virus No.3, yet he still dared to stubbornly resist the marriage!
The High Priest’s shapely eyebrows furrowed even deeper. She had never loved anyone, so she could not understand Jiang Xuecheng at all.
But in the high priest’s opinion, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t Jiang Xuecheng listen to her and marry Diya decisively for the sake of Su Wan’s safety?
What exactly was wrong?
Seeing the high priest’s angry look, Fiennes took a step forward and was about to speak, but Jiang Xuecheng was the first to speak.
“High Priest, I want to marry Su Wan. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Fiennes was startled when he heard that. He turned back to look at Jiang Xuecheng and saw that Jiang Xuecheng was coldly meeting the high priest’s gaze.
It seemed that the two of them had never been so at odds in the past, right?
At the very least, they knew how to be polite on the surface…
Did something happen?
Fiennes’ heart skipped a beat. When he thought about how Jiang Xuecheng had proposed to Su Wan in front of everyone today, he initially thought that Jiang Xuecheng was prepared to take on all the responsibility. But now, it seemed like he had no choice.
After all, everyone present was from an aristocratic family. The significance of proposing on such an occasion was extraordinary. She could not suppress it even if she wanted to!
Something that could make the two of them completely fall out…
Fiennes’ gaze fell on Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan’s tightly clasped fingers. He already had a plan in his heart.
Most likely, it was because of Su Wan…
He really did not know what the high priest had done to Su Wan to provoke the emperor.
It seemed that things were getting more and more “interesting”…
Fiennes rubbed his sleeves thoughtfully. While the emperor and the high priest were at loggerheads, he might be able to make good use of this opportunity to advance his plan.
…
The high priest’s expression was cold, and her pale lips were pursed into a straight line.
Because she was in a high position, she had never shown her emotions. However, at this moment, her elegant figure was tense, and anyone could see that the high priest was unhappy at this moment!
“Your Highness, you have to think carefully. Your fiancée clearly ran out just now. There is no one for you to marry here now!”
The high priest’s powerful words brushed past his ears. Jiang Xuecheng’s face froze, and his pitch-black eyes suddenly darkened!
When everyone saw the high priest’s cold expression, they knew that this was the calm before the storm. They all looked away, not wanting to get involved in this incident.
Although today’s show was lively, they were just background actors. They did not want to get involved in this mess.
And Su Wan, who was standing beside Jiang Xuecheng, did not expect the high priest to say this!
This was equivalent to denying her marriage to Jiang Xuecheng with a single sentence!
Su Wan’s face turned slightly pale.
She actually did not care about Jiang Xuecheng’s current status. She did not have the slightest bit of nostalgia for this so-called emperor of the God’s Palace.
Even if the two of them were just ordinary people, as long as they were together, they would be able to live well on their own.
However, right now, they were under the control of the God’s Palace. On the contrary, they did not have any freedom. They even had to rely on the high priest for their marriage!
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s appearance, he knew that she must be feeling uneasy. Jiang Xuecheng silently pinched Su Wan’s palm, indicating that she did not need to be afraid since he was with her.
Su Wan felt Jiang Xuecheng pinch her palm. She slightly curved the corners of her lips, hinting that Jiang Xuecheng did not need to worry.
What she was thinking about now was whether she could leave this place with Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan knew that Jiang Xuecheng was not the kind of person who was greedy for power. However, the God’s Palace’s influence was indeed too extensive. Once the two of them left this place, they would immediately be hunted all over the universe.
The high priest naturally noticed the small actions of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng.
She stroked the cat that had returned to her arms. There was obvious disgust in her eyes.
This young man and woman did not seem to care about her at all.
However, it did not matter. She had many ways to control these two people!
…
In the long corridor, there were all kinds of exquisite and magnificent murals. The space was filled with the fragrance of various flowers and plants.
Diya was crying as she ran. Her pretty face was full of tears, but at this moment, she did not care about her image at all. She did not even want to wipe it off.
She wanted to go home now, immediately, immediately!
Suddenly, she saw the door of the closed elevator in front of her slowly closing.
There seemed to be a man’s figure inside. He was wearing a black, white, and gray waiter’s uniform. Diya did not see his exact appearance clearly.
It was good that the person in the elevator was a waiter, as long as he was not a noble who knew her!
She had lost enough face today!
“Wait! I want to go in too!”
Diya hurriedly shouted. The man in the elevator seemed to look up at Diya when he heard that, but he still helped to press the switch.
