Amidst the beautiful music, Su Wan had already started to spin her body along with Jiang Xuecheng.
It had to be said that Su Wan’s dancing skills had not improved much compared to before. She was like a marionette, not flexible at all.
There were already many people who shifted their gazes to the two of them. When they saw Su Wan’s stiff dance steps and posture, they could not help but snicker a few times.
Previously, there were many people who praised Su Wan for her elegance, but when it came to dancing, Su Wan was really compared to dust.
“As expected, that Su Wan is just like what Miss Diya said. Other than having a better face, she’s actually just a country bumpkin.”
“That’s right, that’s right. How is she worthy to stand beside the Emperor?”
“She’s just a lowly commoner girl. I say that it will only be a few days before His Highness loses interest in her.”
The heated discussion was actually very low, but Su Wan did not know why she heard it. Her heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She really hated those discussions that were condescending. In fact, nobles were not nobles. They were just born into it.
Who was really more noble than who?
If they were just relying on their family background to think that they were extraordinary, that would be too shallow!
As for those who relied on their rich background to mock and even bully others, that would be even more contemptible!
Su Wan looked down on such people from the bottom of her heart.
Because she was thinking about something, when Su Wan was not paying attention, she slowed down a beat and directly stepped on the tip of Jiang Xuecheng’s shoes.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Your… Your Highness, I didn’t step on you, did I?”
Feeling that she had made a mistake, Su Wan shivered!
Oh God, she had really stepped on Jiang Xuecheng’s foot. How embarrassing!
Su Wan looked up in panic. When she saw that handsome face, she almost called the name of Jiang Xuecheng without thinking.
As soon as the word “Xue” came out of her mouth, Su Wan realized that something was wrong. She quickly swallowed the last word and changed it to the honorific title of His Highness.
The emperor noticed the strange way Su Wan addressed him just now and could not help but frown and ask.
“What did you call me just now?”
Su Wan was complaining in her heart, but on the surface, she could only put on an ignorant look.
“Your Highness? What’s wrong? Did you hear something wrong…”
Seeing that Su Wan was pretending to not understand, the man’s eyes deepened. His gaze was locked tightly on Su Wan, not letting go of the slightest emotion on her face.
That unfathomable gaze seemed to be able to see through everything. Su Wan felt a little guilty under that gaze.
Just as Su Wan was feeling anxious, she suddenly felt Jiang Xuecheng pinch her waist forcefully.
“Relax, don’t be stiff like a block of wood.”
The two of them were already extremely close to each other. When Jiang Xuecheng had just said those words, his thin lips were almost pressed against Su Wan’s ear.
The scorching hot breath rushed over, and the tip of Su Wan’s ear was immediately dyed with a faint layer of crimson.
Su Wan seemed like she waselectrocuted by someone and hurriedly nodded.
“I’ll definitely study hard!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s other hand came over and gently rested on Su Wan’s shoulder.
“Actually, the ballroom dance is very simple. Just follow my rhythm and take your time.”
His face was calm. At this moment, his voice was no longer cold. Instead, it was so gentle that it made one’s heart palpitate.
Su Wan stared at Jiang Xuecheng. The corners of her lips could not help but curve into a beautiful smile.
She felt that after today’s dance, her relationship with Jiang Xuecheng might be able to improve.
This was because during this banquet, she gradually discovered that Jiang Xuecheng’s attitude towards her was actually very special. He had repeatedly defended her and even did not mind letting a clumsy person like her be his student.
Could she boldly guess that Jiang Xuecheng actually liked her a little now?
If it was not because he liked her, how could he have such patience?
Su Wan’s mood became more and more cheerful. She felt that she had something to look forward to, and she no longer cared about the various difficulties she had faced during the banquet.
From the beginning to the end, the only person she cared about was Jiang Xuecheng. As long as Jiang Xuecheng also cared about her, other people’s gazes were not worth mentioning.
Perhaps it was because her mood was getting better and better, Su Wan’s attention was much more focused than before, and her body was no longer as stiff.
The lively dance music filled the garden. Accompanied by a change in tune, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly brought Su Wan to his side.
Su Wan was already mentally prepared. She completed a rotation toward Jiang Xuecheng.
Although the difficulty of this movement was not high, Su Wan’s skirt fluttered, like a blue rose quietly blooming in the night, it was so breathtaking.
…
Fiennes and Diya came down the stairs together, and what they saw was this scene.
–Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng kept spinning close to each other, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, looking extremely compatible.
This scene deeply stung Diya’s heart.
She had just been patiently persuaded by Fiennes upstairs for a long time. Fiennes was asking her nothing more than to give up on the emperor and find a suitable person to entrust herself to for life.
If she did not know that her brother was doing it for her own good, with Lady Diya’s temper, she would have long left. How could she listen to Fiennes’ lecture for so long!
Ha, he wanted her to give up on the emperor!
Then why not let that vixen called Su Wan leave the Emperor’s side first!
She was a match for the emperor in terms of status. However, Su Wan, despite her appearance, had a lowly status in the mud. She was not worthy to stand beside the emperor!
The most infuriating thing was that the emperor actually protected Su Wan like that. He did not even hesitate to go against her again and again!
At the thought of this, Diya clenched her fingers tightly. She snorted coldly and could not help but mock Fiennes.
“Brother, is that the woman you like? Her ballroom dancing is so bad, I think even a mannequin is better than her!”
Fiennes glanced at his sister helplessly. Actually, he could also see that Su Wan’s dancing was average, but everyone could not be perfect.
Fiennes glanced at the couple dancing not far away and felt a little uncomfortable.
“Diya, Miss Su is obviously a beginner. Why are you so picky?”
“So what if she’s a beginner in ballroom dancing?! Then she’s even less worthy to stand next to His Highness!”
Diya sneered again. Just as she was about to continue mocking Su Wan, she suddenly saw the man she liked and Su Wan stop dancing.
The two of them leisurely walked to the side and headed straight for the buffet area. Su Wan unceremoniously picked up a box of mousse cake and started eating it.
Su Wan enjoyed it very much and did not notice the stain on the corner of her lips.
The emperor actually went forward and gently brushed Su Wan’s lips, wiping away the little bit of white cream.
Although they were so far away, Diya felt that there seemed to be starlight flickering in His Highness’ eyes. It was so deep and so gentle.
However, the person she was looking at was not herself
Diya’s heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. Without thinking, she picked up a glass of apple juice and quickly walked towards the two of them.
“Diya–”
When Fiennes saw Diya’s expression, he immediately wanted to call out to her. However, it was already too late.
That was because Diya directly poured out the glass of apple juice, splashing the hem of Su Wan’s skirt…
