194 Yousre So Smart! (2/2)

”It is the engagement ring given to me by your mother. Your birth date and time are on it. Do you want to take a look? Besides, your mother did not marry you to two men. I only said you have to fulfill my terms before the marriage is agreed to.”

The ring looked valuable, and Gu Xijiu did notice her birth date and time on it.

However, she sensed something uncanny with the ring, but somehow could not quite put her finger on it. Before she could inspect it closely, he took the ring back.

”Now, do you believe me?” Di Fuyi looked at her.

”Shouldn't the engagement ring be possessed by both sides? How come I do not have it…?”

”It was possessed by both sides - this ring is one of a pair, and you should have the other one. Your mother was keeping it for you. Unfortunately, she left too early, and that ring probably disappeared with her…” Di Fuyi answered in a soft voice, ”This is not known to anyone else, and your mother is missing now. Nobody would know if I remained silent. But I always keep my promise, and I do not have the heart to oppress the weak.”

Did he keep his promise? Did he not oppress the weak? Was not that what he was doing right now?

Gu Xijiu despised him, but she did not express it.

She figured something out, and looked at him, ”That is why you forced me to the trials,? If I wasn't a celestial student, would you have all the reasons in the world to cast me out to the Dark Forest and let me die?”

Di Fuyi smiled, ”You are smart!”

Gu Xi Jiu was speechless.
