Chapter 559: Laughable Honor
This woman was really troublesome.
The emperor frowned. He slightly pursed his lips and said coldly.
“What is so important?”
He did not know why, but after spending so little time with Su Wan, he subconsciously felt that perhaps this woman was really not a spy.
He actually faintly hoped to see her figure in the divine palace as soon as possible. So when he heard Su Wan say that she wanted to delay, he was clearly unhappy.
Wasn’t it just a day’s delay?
Why did she feel that this man was so angry?
Su Wan restrained her expression and immediately opened her mouth to explain to Jiang Xuecheng.
“Sir, didn’t I say earlier that I was going to bring a robot over? It just so happens that the robot broke down in the past few days and I’ve arranged to repair it tomorrow with someone else, so…”
Before Su Wan could finish speaking, she heard the other party coldly interrupt Su Wan’s words.
“As you wish then.”
Su Wan could tell that Jiang Xuecheng was in a bad mood. She did not say a word after that, and the atmosphere fell into a heavy and awkward state.
Too many things had happened today, and Su Wan was tired. She was really not interested in stirring up a topic at this time, so she simply sat quietly at the side.
The emperor looked at Su Wan from the corner of his eyes. He saw that Su Wan was sitting quietly at the side, and she had a more elegant temperament than when she was embarrassed and angry earlier.
Su Wan’s porcelain-like side profile was shining under the light. Her beautiful eyebrows were like the mottled flowers in the distant mountains. Her eyelashes were long and slender. Her pair of lively almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, like a crescent moon. The radiance flowing in them could not help but intoxicate people.
This woman was indeed not bad-looking…
But she was not a peerless beauty that could topple cities and countries. Just in terms of appearance, Diya was definitely not inferior to her.
Then why did he always want to look at her?
The emperor could not figure it out, so he decided to open his eyes and forced himself to look at the road ahead.
Soon, the maglev car arrived at the destination that Su Wan had mentioned.
On the North Road of the city, at the small hotel called Tianqing.
The man stretched out his slender fingers and pressed a button on the holographic electronic screen.
Soon, the maglev slowed down and stopped on the street in front of Tianqing Hotel.
“Sir, I’m going back.”
Su Wan carefully glanced at Jiang Xuecheng. Seeing that he did not speak, she stood up and wanted to walk to the cabin door, but a question suddenly sounded behind her.
“What is your name?”
The low and cold voice was still indifferent.
Su Wan suddenly stopped in her tracks. For some reason, a thin mist appeared in her eyes.
He had indeed forgotten her.
Su Wan turned her head and smiled at the man not far away. She really wanted to say her name in Chinese, but in the end, she stopped and chose the interstellar common language.
“Sir, my name is Su Wan. I hope you can always remember this name.”
After remembering this name, don’t ever forget it again, okay?
Her name was Su Wan because she inherited her father’s surname, Su Heng. The word ‘Wan’ was because her mother gave birth to her at night.
Hearing this, the emperor was slightly startled.
For some reason, even though Su Wan was clearly smiling, her smile was indeed very beautiful.
However, her eyes that were as clear as water seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. Her eyes were sorrowful, and there were too many matters hidden in them that people could not help but want to explore.
He could feel that Su Wan was not as happy as she appeared to be.
The emperor’s long brows furrowed slightly. When he thought of Su Wan’s request just now, he finally opened his mouth.
“Alright, Su… Wan, I’ll remember it.”
Su Wan knew that Jiang Xuecheng was a person who valued promises. She believed that it would not change even now.
Su Wan paused for a second before she suddenly thought of another matter.
She carefully looked at the man and asked tentatively.
“Sir, may I ask your name?”
Now that Jiang Xuecheng had a new identity, he could not possibly still be called Jiang Xuecheng, right?
Su Wan was very curious about this. Previously, she had heard them refer to him as the emperor of the God’s Palace or use His Highness as a form of honorifics, but none of them addressed him by his name.
Even the people of the Siswell family were no exception. They only used His Highness as a form of address for Jiang Xuecheng.
It was as if Jiang Xuecheng didn’t have a name here, or perhaps other people didn’t deserve to say his name?
Su Wan’s question swept past his ears. In an instant, the emperor’s lips were tightly pursed, and his expression suddenly darkened.
Under the illumination of the streetlight, that well-defined face appeared particularly cold and stern, constantly emitting a low pressure.
Uh, what’s wrong?
Su Wan was stunned. She did not know if she had said the wrong thing, or if she had touched upon some bad luck.
“I don’t have a name. Isn’t it ridiculous?”
The man was silent for a moment. His casual voice was filled with coldness and sarcasm.
To be precise, every emperor of the God’s Palace didn’t have a name. Even if he did, he had to give up his name after he took over the position until the next emperor took over their identity.
As an emperor, he could only have one identity. The title of “Emperor” was engraved in their hearts.
In all the major galaxies, a nameless person could only be an orphan who had been abandoned. However, to an emperor, not having a name meant supreme honor.
And honor sometimes meant loneliness.
These faint words were like a huge mountain pressing down on Su Wan, making her unable to breathe.
Heavens, did she really guess correctly?
Su Wan’s fingers trembled, and her body suddenly stiffened on the spot.
Actually, this man had a name, but he had forgotten it…
Moreover, it was laughable to hear that Jiang Xuecheng did not have a name. Clearly, he did not like the shackles that the God’s Palace gave him.
Su Wan awkwardly stroked her hair, not knowing how to comfort Jiang Xuecheng. She could not just directly say that his name was Jiang Xuecheng, right?
Su Wan wanted to get close to the God’s Palace in order to understand why Jiang Xuecheng lost his memory and why he became the Emperor of the God’s Palace.
Su Wan frowned. In order not to hurt his self-esteem, she chose a more tactful way of saying it.
“How can it be ridiculous? This is a special symbol of the Emperor.”
“Really? Do you really think so?”
The emperor looked down at her from above. His gaze was cold, as if he had long seen through Su Wan’s hesitation.
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately nodded her head vigorously, trying to make her expression seem sincere and cordial.
“Of course! How many people like me admire Your Highness.”
They were only admiring the special identity of the Emperor of the God’s Palace, but what she cared about was the person Jiang Xuecheng.
The emperor frowned. His cold phoenix eyes locked onto Su Wan, as if he was trying to tell if what Su Wan said was true or false.
But at this moment, he clearly couldn’t understand the deeper meaning behind Su Wan’s words,
“You may go.”
He waved his hand toward Su Wan somewhat wearily and ordered her to leave.
