Chapter 546: To Make Him Stop And Look

Fiennes followed the directions from the staff and saw Su Wan on the second floor.

Fiennes stood in front of Su Wan politely. He stared straight at the young woman in front of him, his blue eyes shining brightly under the light.

Su Wan wore a white hand-embroidered dress. Her waterfall-like black hair was tied behind a simple headband, and there was a crystal crown on her forehead.

Her makeup was light, and her clear face looked like it had been washed by a mountain spring. She was like an elegant lily under the moonlight, palpitating one’s heart with excitement.

Perhaps she was not the most beautiful person in the crowd, but she had a clear and graceful temperament like flowing water. It does not fight, and was ethereal and quiet.

As long as she appeared, people could not help but cast their gazes on her.

This woman did not need to say anything. She was just like a scenery.

That day, when he saw how she looked when she was playing the Guqin, Fiennes was watching her while listening to the Guqin. For some reason, he wanted to find out more about this woman.

What was it that could make her depressed?

Fiennes looked at Su Wan from head to toe without leaving a trace. He curved his lips in pleasure.

The high-tailored dress “Defeiya” he picked really suited Su Wan.

However, it was a pity that Su Wan did not know that he had specially chosen this dress.

Su Wan did not know what Fiennes was thinking. She looked at the cake in Fiennes’ plate in astonishment. She subconsciously wanted to reject it.

“There’s no need. Young Master Fiennes, please have it for yourself.”

Previously, Su Wan had been watching from the second floor. Fiennes seemed to have only cut the cake for Jiang Xuecheng and his birthday girl. How could she afford this piece?

No matter how dense Su Wan was, she could tell that this young master of the Siswell family seemed to treat her a little differently.

Hearing Su Wan’s words, Fiennes’ handsome face suddenly darkened.

“Miss Su, aren’t you going to give me face? This is a piece I specially saved for you.”

He stared at Su Wan without blinking. The corner of his mouth, which was still smiling, made Su Wan feel a chill.

Su Wan looked at Fiennes embarrassedly, complaining endlessly in her heart.

That was the problem.

If Fiennes had cut a piece for everyone, she would not have given him face.

This was only the second time she had met Fiennes. She did not know if it was her imagination, but he seemed to be a little attentive.

Su Wan felt his burning gaze and could not help but frown. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she immediately found an excuse for herself.

“Young Master Fiennes, that’s not the reason.”

Fiennes stared at Su Wan noncommittally, as if he was wondering what reason Su Wan could come up with.

Su Wan straightened her expression and said in an extremely serious tone.

“I’m going to play the accompaniment for your sister soon. Before playing the Guqin, I’m most particular about calming the air and concentrating the mind. I’m afraid that eating this cake will affect my performance. If it affects Miss Diya’s dance, it won’t be good.”

Of course, this reason was pure nonsense, but Su Wan knew that she was only giving Fiennes a way out.

With his understanding, he would not make things difficult for her over such a small matter.

After Su Wan finished speaking, she smiled at Fiennes. Although she was a little nervous, she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

Fiennes paused for a few seconds and did not speak. Then, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“Alright, then I’ll wait for Miss Su’s good news.”

As Fiennes spoke, he turned around and walked out of the studio on the second floor. He could tell that Su Wan seemed respectful, but there was a faint estrangement underneath.

This seemed to be the first time he had hit a wall like this. In the past, he did not need to put in a lot of effort before those girls come sticking to him on their own.

But why did that woman called Su Wan keep a respectful distance from him?

He wasn’t some flood beast...

She was clearly just an ordinary woman with such an ordinary status, but standing there, she had a special temperament.

Perhaps it was because of this difference that he was somewhat interested in this woman?

Fiennes sighed helplessly as he walked along the corridor. Then, he mercilessly threw the cake into the trash can.

The exquisite and perfect rose carving in the bowl and plate was instantly drowned and shattered along with the cream.

Fiennes turned his head and took a deep look at the room at the end of the corridor. His eyes revealed an unconcealed inquisitiveness.

Perhaps he should find someone to interrogate Su Wan about her identity and understand her past experiences. Perhaps he could understand what she was thinking.

...

Su Wan walked behind the stage from the side. The lights were very dim, so no one noticed her.

Soon, Su Wan saw the eldest daughter of the Siswell family walking towards the center of the stage. She changed out of her long red-colored swallow tail dress and into a blue water-sleeved dance dress.

At this moment, she was like the most elegant princess at the banquet in the ancient Han Dynasty.

Su Wan placed her fingers on the strings of the Guqin and looked at the beauty under the spotlight.

She had to admit that Diya was extremely beautiful. Although she had the same father as Fiennes, Diya was not westernized at all. Instead, her facial features were quite classical.

Diya stood in the middle of the stage with a smile on her face.

In an instant, many flashlights on the stage were focused on Diya!

At this moment!

Su Wan paused for a second. She took a slight breath and then threw away all the distracting thoughts in her heart. She brushed the strings of the Guqin with her bare hands.

Along with the ethereal melody of the strings, the elegant and delicate chimes rang gently.

In the middle of the stage, Diya raised her sleeves!

Her blue sleeves extended with her body, dancing into a brilliant light amidst the beautiful Guqin music!

The sky was filled with the rain of flowers.

The beautiful eyes of the eighteen-year-old girl were filled with longing, like the most mesmerizing flower in the rain of flowers.

She swung her sleeves and spun them. She bowed and looked back. Her long sleeves hung slightly on her face. In an instant, she was so beautiful that it was as if she was from a dream. It was difficult to describe.

The sound of the Guqin suddenly turned from faint to rapid. Everyone held their breath and stared straight at the woman dancing on the stage. They were afraid that they would miss any movement.

Diya smiled smugly. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the emperor not far away. When she saw that the emperor was also looking in her direction, her heart suddenly softened.

Was he also attracted to her?

Wasn’t the classical graceful dance that she had spent so much effort to learn just to make him stop and look?

Diya smiled in the direction of her favorite person, trying her best to make her dance even more beautiful.

She spun her body in a hurry. It was clearly such a difficult move, but it was done by her, yet it was so tender and endless.

Meanwhile, Su Wan was immersed in her own music, so she had no time to watch the stunning dance in the stands.

At this moment, she was a Guqin player, and she wanted to do her best.

The sound of the Guqin gradually became soft, and Diya’s dance gradually became soft with the music.

Her white fingertips turned into a beautiful gesture, and Diya smiled and stood steadily on the stage.

In an instant, the applause was thunderous, and everyone in the audience looked at her in amazement.

Diya raised her chin proudly, and her eyes stopped on the emperor.

He was the only one who did not clap.
