The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 570
Chapter 570: Ice And Fire
Even if she didn’t turn her head, Su Wan could still feel the cold, icy gaze of Jiang Xuecheng locked onto her.
She didn’t know why, but ever since that night, she became a little afraid of him.
She was really afraid.
Su Wan’s hand, which was holding the chopsticks, suddenly trembled, so much so that she accidentally dropped the pair of silver chopsticks on the ground.
The crisp sound of the silver chopsticks falling to the ground reverberated in the air, making the atmosphere a little strange.
When she realized that she had dropped the chopsticks, Su Wan’s entire body quivered. In an instant, she reflexively wanted to pick up the pair of chopsticks that had fallen to the ground.
However, someone was faster than her.
Su Wan had just bent down when she saw a pair of slender, white hands already picking up the silver chopsticks that had fallen to the ground for her.
It was Fiennes.
Su Wan was stunned for a moment before she immediately returned to her seat and nodded at Fiennes.
“Thank you.”
Su Wan thanked him subconsciously before she quickly retracted her body and sat in her original seat.
The god beside Su Wan still did not move at all. He shifted his gaze and very casually picked up a piece of cold jellyfish skin from the bowl and plate.
It was as if he did not notice the embarrassing incident where Su Wan had just dropped her chopsticks.
When Fiennes heard Su Wan’s thanks, he smiled indifferently.
He put the pair of silver chopsticks that had fallen to the ground aside, then opened the box on the dining table and handed a pair of unopened chopsticks to Su Wan.
When Su Wan saw the chopsticks that Fiennes handed to her, she had no choice but to take it with a stiff hand and thank Fiennes again.
Fiennes had a teasing smile on his face, as if he didn’t notice Su Wan’s awkwardness. Instead, he began to tease her.
“How could you be so careless? Just now, you dropped the menu and now you dropped the chopsticks. Miss Su, why are you so distracted today?”
Su Wan looked embarrassed. She stammered for a while and could only come up with a random excuse.
“Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m a little tired…”
These words couldn’t be considered a lie. Su Wan had been tormented by Jiang Xuecheng the previous night. Later, when she saw Ming Ye in the hotel, she couldn’t help but worry about the relationship between Jiang Xuecheng and the God’s Palace.
Just like that, she didn’t sleep for half the night. She was tossing and turning until dawn.
The next day, she woke up early again. She just wanted to get the silver tear ore from Fiennes and successfully repair Nono.
Hearing Su Wan say that she didn’t sleep well last night, a trace of concern flashed across Fiennes’ blue eyes.
“Are you tired from practicing the Guqin these days? Miss Su, you should rest more when you go back. Do you want me to find a doctor to take a look at you?”
Faced with Fiennes’ overly enthusiastic attitude, coupled with the fact that there was an iceberg beside her, Su Wan really felt that it was very difficult to endure.
She quickly pulled the corners of her lips and shook her head forcefully to reject Fiennes’ suggestion.
“No need. I just didn’t sleep well last night. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Fiennes.”
As Su Wan said this, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and pretended to be serious about eating. At the same time, she glanced at the man beside her from the corner of her eye.
She saw that Jiang Xuecheng was chewing and swallowing slowly. His movements were extremely elegant, as if he was not affected by the interaction between Su Wan and Fiennes at all.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng’s cold and indifferent look, for some reason, Su Wan’s heart became more and more uneasy.
Su Wan used to think that Jiang Xuecheng was easy to guess, but ever since Jiang Xuecheng had his new identity, she felt more and more that she could not see through this man.
Jiang Xuecheng had not said a word since he sat down, but she kept feeling that this man was angry.
But why was Jiang Xuecheng angry?
It couldn’t be because of her, right?
This man clearly didn’t remember who she was, so why would he be angry?
When she thought of this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Su Wan’s face. The food in this restaurant was not considered delicious to begin with, and the taste changed even more when she ate it.
Su Wan lowered her head and stared at the Red Lobster in the bowl and plate. She suddenly remembered a scene from the past.
The best lobster Su Wan had ever eaten was not cooked in the restaurant, but on Wan Wan Island. She and Jiang Xuecheng had barbecued the lobster that she loved the most in the wild.
At that time, the sky was very blue, and the wind carried the slightly salty seafood. She and Jiang Xuecheng were on the beach, barbecuing the lobster without any worries.
Recalling the past, Su Wan could not help but pick up the lobster with her silver chopsticks. It was clearly not delicious, but she could not help but smile.
Well, when would she be able to return to Wan Wan Island with Jiang Xuecheng and roast a lobster she catches?
Jiang Xuecheng said that he would teach her to swim, but she was still a dabbler…
When Fiennes saw the faint smile on Su Wan’s lips, his eyes lit up. He mistakenly thought that Su Wan thought that the lobster in this restaurant suited her taste.
“Miss Su, if you think it’s delicious, why don’t you have another lobster?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Fiennes picked up another bright red lobster for Su Wan. It was also peeled.
The smile on Su Wan’s lips receded. There was no time for her to refuse. She could only stare blankly at the additional red lobster in the bowl.
Jiang Xuecheng did not look at her. However, Su Wan felt that the temperature around her had dropped by a few degrees!
Su Wan really could not stand this atmosphere of ice and fire. She coughed lightly and spoke to Fiennes in a very serious manner.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, young master Fiennes. Actually, I’m already full. You really don’t need to put food in my bowl.”
Fiennes frowned. He glanced at the rice in Su Wan’s bowl that was barely touched and mistakenly thought that Su Wan was on a diet to lose weight.
Fiennes frowned even more.
“Miss Su, are you sure you’re full? Actually, you’re already very thin. You don’t need to control your appetite like this.”
Hearing Fiennes’ words, Su Wan felt embarrassed. She was not on a diet, but in this situation, she could not eat at all!
“No, I’m really full!”
With that, Su Wan put down her bowl and chopsticks. She wanted to reach for the napkin box next to her, but she did not expect a pair of hands to be placed in front of her.
The man who had been calm all this time suddenly took out two pieces of napkins from the box and handed them to her in an extremely cold manner.
Su Wan was stunned. When she met Jiang Xuecheng’s ice-cold eyes, she fell into a daze for a second.
Her heartstrings seemed to have been touched by something. After a while, they returned to their original state.
Su Wan reached out her hand unnaturally and quickly took the napkin from Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan wiped the corner of her mouth in a panic. She realized that she had not thanked him yet, so she quickly pretended to be flattered and nodded to the man beside her.
“Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you!”
Fiennes was stunned when he saw this scene. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what exactly was wrong.
It was understandable for Su Wan to look like this. After all, the Emperor of the God’s Palace had a noble status. Perhaps she had always respected him?
However, for the emperor to reach out and hand Su Wan a tissue, it was very rare…
